About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1980s, centering on the prominent Charleston Peak. The survey reveals a concentration of recreational and seasonal infrastructure along the eastern slopes, particularly within Lee Canyon and Kyle Canyon. Settlement is clustered around the small community of Mt Charleston, which serves as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness.

Detailed trail networks, including the North Loop Trail and South Loop Trail, illustrate the area's development for outdoor access. Distinctive geological landmarks like Mummy Mountain, Cathedral Rock, and Devils Thumb are mapped alongside important water sources such as Mary Jane Falls and Big Falls. The presence of specialized sites like the Clark Co Youth Camp and the Lee ES Sta reflects the multi-use character of the range during this era, balancing conservation with public utility and education.
