2021 Map of Sweetwater Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sweetwater Mountains dominate the high-altitude landscape of this 2021 survey, straddling the border between Lyon County, Nevada, and Mono County, California. This high-desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and alluvial basins, including Sweetwater Flat and Wedertz Flat. The E Walker River cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by seasonal flows from Sweetwater Cr and Fryingpan Cr. The presence of Devils Gate and Masonic Gulch points to the area's history of movement through the mountain passes. Within the Toiyabe National Forest, numerous canyons such as Sweetwater Canyon and Silverado Canyon suggest a legacy of prospecting and grazing. Water sources like Long Doctor Spring remain vital markers in this arid environment, where peak elevations like Bald Mtn and Round Mtn provide significant landmarks for navigation across the state line.
