About this map

The Bald Mountain Range and Verdi Range converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of California and Nevada. In the early 1980s, this area of the Tahoe National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest served as a key crossroads for timber and transit. The presence of Henness Pass Road, a historic wagon route, underscores the region's importance as a passage through the Sierras.

Evidence of historical activity is found at Camp 21 (Site) and various campgrounds such as Davies Creek Campground and Males Station Campground. Topographical landmarks like Babbitt Peak and its Lookout Tower dominate the western skyline, while the drainage of Dog Creek through Dog Valley provides a central corridor. The map also identifies local resources such as the Dog Valley Forest Service Sta and scattered mining activity near the eastern boundary.
