2018 Map of Corcoran Canyon

About this map

The high-elevation ridges of the Toquima Range dominate this interior portion of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the landscape is defined by steep drainage systems and prominent geological landmarks. Elevations transition from the high peaks down into the arid expanse of Monitor Valley to the east. Water sources, vital for survival in this arid terrain, are identified at Ryecroft Spring, Corcoran Divide Spring, and Little Table Mountain Spring. The network of trails and primitive roads, including the Little Table Connector and Corcoran Canyon Spur A, provides a detailed look at how this remote backcountry was accessed for forest management and ranching. Distinctive features like Tooth Rock and the steep walls of Waterfall Canyon serve as critical navigational markers in a territory characterized by rugged canyons like Corcoran Canyon and Ryecroft Canyon.
