2011 Map of Smith Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The Smoke Creek Desert dominates the northwestern portion of this Washoe County landscape, where the arid basin floor meets the rising elevations of the surrounding terrain. In this corner of Nevada, the drainage patterns of Dry Creek and Cottonwood Creek illustrate the seasonal hydrology characteristic of the high desert, feeding into the low-lying Cottonwood Basin. The presence of Smith Canyon provides a primary topographic break in the southeastern section, offering a clear view of the natural corridors used for travel and water runoff. This 2011 survey records the minimal human footprint in the area, focusing on the fundamental landforms and the limited road network that traverses the desert's edge.
