2021 Map of Wilson Canyon

About this map

Wilson Canyon serves as a dramatic focal point where the West Walker River cuts through the desert terrain of Lyon County. This 2021 survey reveals a complex irrigation network essential to the high-desert landscape, featuring the Westside Canal, Tunnel Ditch, and Sanders Canal winding through Missouri Flat. To the north, the elevations of the Singatse Range and Mt Wilson dominate the skyline, while the Pine Grove Hills rise to the south within the Toiyabe National Forest. Local history and land use are etched into the map through features like Elm Tree Cem and the Wilson Hot Spring. A dense network of trails, including the Wilson Canyon St Trl and Mickey Canyon St Trl, spiderwebs across the ridges, documenting modern access to this traditional ranching and transit corridor between Hudson Pass and the river valley.
