About this map

Wassuk Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape in Mineral County, Nevada, where the topography rises sharply to Cory Peak and Big Indian Mtn. The northern boundary includes the southern portion of the Hawthorne Army Depot, a significant military installation situated near South Fork Cat Creek. This area of the Toiyabe National Forest is defined by its steep drainages and strategic mountain crossings.

Transportation through this high country is marked by historic routes such as Lucky Boy Pass Rd, which climbs through Lucky Boy Pass to connect the desert basins. A network of primitive paths, including the Garfield Trl and Rock Cabin Spring Trl, suggests a landscape used for seasonal access and resource management. Seasonal water sources like Mud Spring Creek and Cory Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding canyons.
