2018 Map of Wild Horse Basin

About this map

The Dead Camel Mountains and the Desert Mountains dominate this arid landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Sam Spring Wash cuts through Wild Horse Canyon. This 2018 survey captures the high-desert transition between rugged peaks and broad alluvial basins typical of the western Great Basin. In the southwest corner, the terrain drops away into Campbell Valley, where the Walker River provides a critical water source in an otherwise dry region. While much of the land is characterized by open terrain such as Wild Horse Basin and Sunshine Flat, local access is defined by limited corridors like Julian Ln. The map highlights the complex topography and the precise township and range boundaries that organize this part of Nevada.
