2018 Map of Sutcliffe

About this map

Pyramid Lake dominates the eastern half of this terrain, defining the shoreline and island geography of this portion of Washoe County. The map details the western bank, where the residential footprint of the community is organized along roads like Sutcliffe Dr and Lakeview Dr, stretching toward the waters of Tamarack Bay. Significant geological and hydrologic features are noted offshore, including the sanctuary of Anaho Island with its Anaho Island Spring and the distinctive formation of The Pyramid near the northeastern corner. Inland, the landscape rises toward Jackass Peak, cut by deep drainages such as Hardscrabble Canyon and Quail Canyon. These landmarks, along with coastal points like Pelican Point and Lombardo Point, reflect a landscape shaped by both the high desert environment and its prominent terminal lake.
