About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain where the border between Lander and Nye Counties runs through steep ridges and deep drainages. The landscape is defined by its complex watershed, with Washington Creek, Carseley Creek, and Cottonwood Creek 1 carving paths through the massive slopes of the Toiyabe Range. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Bunker Hill and Groves Lake, providing a clear look at the drainage patterns that feed into the valley floors.

Remote backcountry access is traced along the Toiyabe Crest Natl Rec Trail, which winds north-to-south across the ridges. Numerous named canyons, including Brewer Canyon, Kingston Canyon, and Victorine Canyon, illustrate the geological dissection of the range. The map documents the intricate network of seasonal streams like Knox Creek and Leon Canyon Creek, which are critical features for understanding the hydrology of this arid mountain environment.
