About this map

The Toiyabe National Forest landscape of Central Nevada is defined by the high-elevation drainages and steep ridges of the Shoshone Mountains. This 2021 survey traces the Reese River as it winds through the northern section of the map, while the Tolyabe Crest National Recreation Trl follows the high ridgelines to the east. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, climbing from the wide expanse of Indian Valley in the west toward prominent summits like Black Mtn and Mahogany Hill.

Water sources are scarce and geographically significant in this arid high-country, with Ledbetter Spring serving as a notable landmark in the southern reaches. Numerous canyons, including Peavine Canyon, Battero Canyon, and Ledbetter Canyon, cut through the mountain blocks, often serving as the primary corridors for wilderness travel. A network of primitive paths, such as the Stone Cabin Trl and Cow Canyon Trl, provides access to these remote canyons and the seasonal drainages of Bakeoven Creek and Illinois Cr.
