2012 Map of Sunset Reservoir

About this map

Sunset Reservoir and Robison Reservoir serve as the primary hydrologic focal points in this high-desert landscape of White Pine County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, most notably Chin Creek, which threads through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Strategic water sources such as Cottonwood Spring and Tippett Springs are critical landmarks in this arid environment, often indicating historical stopping points or ranching activity. The western edge of the map is dominated by the complex topography of Cottonwood Canyon, Tunnel Canyon, and the appropriately named Secret Canyon. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural routes, including Tunnel Canyon Rd and Co Rd-33, which navigate the wide basins and descending canyons of the Great Basin.
