2018 Map of Big Ten Peak East

About this map

The Toiyabe National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this high-desert terrain in Nye County, dominated by the peaks and drainages of the McKinney Mountains and the Monitor Range. This landscape is defined by its isolation and the critical importance of water sources, marked by scattered perennial points like Big White Sage Spring, Mildreds Springs, and Big Ten Spring. The topographic detail reveals a network of canyons, including Big Cottonwood Canyon and Chimney Canyon, that descend from summits like Big Ten Peak. The distribution of Good Springs and the sheltered Mustang Meadow suggests a history of livestock grazing and seasonal use within this expansive public land. This area remains largely defined by the forest service infrastructure, notably Natl Forest Develop Road 007 Rd and Head Springs Road.
