2018 Map of Antelope Spring

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates the high desert landscape of this central Nevada survey, where the Monitor Range and McKinney Mountains converge. The terrain is defined by its vital water sources, with isolated points like Antelope Spring, Nickel Spring, and Wood Chopper Spring serving as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid basin. These springs, alongside drainages such as Willow Cr, indicate the historical importance of water management for livestock and transient travel through Nye County. Prominent volcanic and erosional features including Mexican Butte, Antelope Peak, and Kinney Peak provide clear navigational markers. The presence of Mine Canyon suggests the region's long-standing connection to Great Basin prospecting, while the Natl Forest Develop Road 235 Rd provides the primary access through the Big White Sage flats.
