About this map

Wahguyhe Peak stands as the central high point of this landscape, anchoring a stretch of the Grapevine Mountains along the Nevada and California border. This arid high-country terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, including the notable Phinney Canyon to the north and the winding paths of Fall Canyon and Titus Canyon further south.

Survival in this high desert environment historically depended on small, scattered water sources. This 2011 survey carefully documents these vital points, such as Brier Spring, Alkali Spring, and McDonald Spring. The map illustrates a network of primitive 4WD tracks and trails that navigate the steep elevation changes, providing a clear view of how travelers and surveyors have historically moved through this remote mountainous corridor.
