2018 Map of Bakeoven Creek

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Nye County, where a complex network of canyons and peaks defines the central Nevada wilderness. This 2018 survey documents a remote backcountry terrain shaped by seasonal watercourses like Bakeoven Cr, Illinois Cr, and the Reese River. The map highlights a significant intersection of recreational corridors, most notably the Toiyabe Crest Natl Rec Trail and the Reese River Trail, which serve as the primary conduits through this roadless area. Local landmarks such as Black Mtn, Mahogany Hill, and Indian Valley provide essential orientation for navigation between the deep cuts of Cow Canyon and Peavine Canyon. The presence of Ledbetter Spring indicates critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment, essential for those tracing the historic routes and natural features of the Shoshone Mountains.
