2018 Map of Shagnasty

About this map

Simpson Park Mountains dominate the western landscape of this quadrangle, where high peaks like Fagin Mtn give way to a network of steep drainages including Pine Canyon, Trail Canyon, and Grubbs Canyon. The central and eastern portions transition into the Shagnasty Basin, a name reflecting the challenging nature of the high desert terrain. Water sources are scarce but critical in this arid environment, marked by Potato Canyon Spring and the seasonal flows of Ferguson Cr and Underwood Cr. The map captures the boundary between Lander Co and Eureka Co, illustrating how these natural landforms dictate the political divisions and limited transportation routes, such as the remote Gold Bar Rd in the northeast corner.
