About this map

Henness Pass Road and Emigrant Road cut through the high elevations of the Bald Mountain Range and Verdi Range, following historic transit corridors through the Sierra Nevada. This survey captures a landscape defined by the overlapping management of the Tahoe National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest, where high-altitude peaks like Babbitt Peak and Crystal Peak overlook the northern reaches of the Stampede Reservoir.

The presence of Camp 21 (Site) and various hunting camps, such as Hunting Camp No 2, speaks to the region's legacy of timber harvesting and seasonal mountain use. In the lower valleys, labels like Sardine Valley and Hoke Valley trace the drainage patterns of Dog Valley Creek toward the Nevada border. These features, along with the Overland Road, document the evolution of mountain passage from early pioneer routes to modern forest management.
