About this map

Peavine Creek and Horse Creek drainage basins define this arid high-desert landscape in central Nevada, as documented by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Forest Service. The map highlights a network of deep-cut drainages including Deer Canyon, Poplar Canyon, and Handcuff Canyon, which converge toward the valley floors.

Access to the backcountry is marked by the Peavine Canyon Trailhead and Toms Canyon Trailhead, indicating the area's importance for transit and remote exploration. Notable water sources such as Keough Spring and numerous ephemeral flows like Wall Creek and Antelope Creek are critical features in this dry environment, providing essential landmarks for navigation and local land management within Nye County.
