2011 Map of Wall Canyon Reservoir

About this map

Wall Canyon Reservoir serves as a central hydrological feature in this high-desert landscape of northwestern Nevada. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources, including Mountain View Creek and Wall Creek, which feed into the reservoir from the surrounding canyons. To the north, Indian Valley provides a level expanse between the rugged terrain of Pegleg Canyon and Bordwell Canyon. Historical water management is evident through numerous named springs, such as Warm Springs, Kissler Springs, and Irene Spring, alongside agricultural infrastructure like the Cockrell Trough. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the importance of these persistent water points in an arid environment where terrain features like The Dip and Well Canyon dictate the flow of seasonal runoff and modern access routes.
