1979 Map of Wall Canyon Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The high desert hydrology of Washoe County is the focal point of this late 1970s survey, dominated by the Wall Canyon Reservoir and its supporting drainage network. Fed by Wall Canyon Creek, the reservoir sits at the base of the Hays Canyon Range, where numerous seasonal and perennial water sources emerge from the slopes. Names like Kissler Springs, Warm Springs, and Packsaddle Spring indicate the critical importance of water for livestock and local use in this arid environment. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages such as Pegleg Canyon and Cockrell Canyon, the latter featuring the Cockrell Trough. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the canyons and over the ridges toward Cherry Mtn, reflecting the land use patterns of a region defined by ranching and remote land management.
