2021 Map of Sylvania Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sylvania Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border between Nevada and California. The 2021 survey traces the dramatic topography of the Sylvania Canyon and White Cliff Canyon, where seasonal water drainage patterns like the Palmetto Wash define the local geography. This area is characterized by its vital water sources in a dry climate, marked by numerous named springs such as Pigeon Spring, Log Spring, Mud Spring, and Carpenter Spring. The presence of Pigeon Springs Rd indicates the importance of these water points for regional transit across the state line between Esmeralda County, Nevada and Inyo County, California. Geologists and local historians can trace the intersection of ancient geological formations and the essential hydrology that has long dictated movement through this corner of the Great Basin.
