2014 Map of Box Spring

About this map

Monitor Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, featuring the expansive bed of Dry Lake at its center. This 2014 survey documents the rugged high-elevation terrain of Nye County, where the eastern slopes of the Toiyabe National Forest descend into the basin. The map illustrates a remote environment defined by intermittent water sources and seasonal drainage patterns, such as Wadsworth Cr and the namesake Box Spring located near the northern boundary. Transportation through this part of the Great Basin is limited to primitive routes and forest service roads, including NV-82 and Mill Canyon Rd. Named features like Mill Canyon and Willow Canyon provide essential landmarks for navigation across the varied topography of the Toiyabe Range, capturing the character of the region's wilderness and public lands management during the early 21st century.
