2021 Map of West of Railroad Pass

About this map

Diamond Valley occupies the expansive western portion of this map, meeting the dramatic vertical rise of the Diamond Mountains along its eastern edge. This transition between the flat valley floor and the high ridgeline is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Fourmile Canyon, Fivemile Canyon, and Davis Canyon. These features illustrate the characteristic basin-and-range topography of central Nevada, where runoff from the high peaks has carved distinct paths toward the valley sink. Modern infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by Co Rte 101, which skirts the base of the mountains. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid across T25N and T26N, highlighting how the vast interior of Diamond Valley was historically sectioned for grazing and land management.
