2014 Map of Skinner Canyon

About this map

The Kern Mountains and the South Mountains dominate this high-desert topography along the border of White Pine County and Juab County. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of named springs that have likely served as vital water sources for generations. From Indian Spring to Upper Sulphur Spring, these water points are the anchors of the terrain. The transition between Nevada and Utah is marked by the rugged descent into Pleasant Valley and the Deep Creek Range to the east. A primitive road network, including Tippet Rd and Wish Bone Rd, provides access to deep drainages like Essex Canyon and Skinner Canyon. This map is particularly valuable for those studying the physical geography and hydrology of the Great Basin borderlands.
