2011 Map of Wild Range Canyon

About this map

Buffalo Valley Hot Springs and the arid expanse of Alkali Lake define the northern landscape of this interior Nevada region. Located in the high desert of Lander County, the area is characterized by drainage patterns carved by Daisy Creek, which flows south from the slopes of Wild Range Canyon. The terrain rises toward the east where Pinnacle Mountain stands as a prominent topographical landmark. Human impact is sparse, consisting primarily of remote thoroughfares such as Buffalo Valley Rd and Fish Creek Rd that connect this isolated terrain to the wider valley. This survey provides a precise record of the hydrologic and geologic features in a region where geothermal activity and seasonal water sources are central to the environment.
