2012 Map of Welches Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2012

About this map

The Tuscarora Mountains dominate this high-desert portion of Eureka County, Nevada, providing a stark backdrop to the drainage systems that define the area's hydrology. The prominent Richmond Summit stands as a central topographic marker, overseeing the descent into the namesake Welches Canyon to the west. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by seasonal watercourses like Welches Creek, Soap Creek, and James Creek, which flow through the arid basins toward larger sinks beyond the map's edge.
