2014 Map of Corey Peak

About this map

Corey Peak and Big Indian Mtn anchor this high-elevation terrain within the Wassuk Range of Mineral County. This portion of the Toiyabe National Forest is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Squaw Cr, Corey Cr, and Garfield Cr, which cut through the high desert landscape. The presence of Lucky Boy Pass suggests a vital historical transit point through the range, as indicated by the eponymous Lucky Boy Rd that winds toward the summit. The complex topography shown here is characteristic of Nevada's Basin and Range province, where narrow, high-altitude ridges are separated by deep canyons like the N Fork Cottonwood Canyon.
