2011 Map of Yellow Hills West

About this map

High Rock Canyon and its sister gorges define this high desert landscape in northwestern Nevada as it was mapped in 2011. The drainage system of High Rock Creek cuts through the terrain, joined by seasonal watercourses like Yellow Rock Canon Creek and Wall Canyon Creek. Remote outposts such as Stevens Camp in the northwest and Bernards Corrals near Cottonwood Creek reflect the area's continued use for livestock and land management. The concentration of named geological features, including Hanging Rock Canyon, Pole Canyon, and Grassy Canyon, highlights a topography shaped by dramatic elevation changes. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse road network and natural landmarks used for navigation in this corner of Washoe County.
