1971 Map of Elkhorn Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Monitor Range dominates this 1971 survey of Nye County, where the high desert terrain transitions into the protected lands of the Toiyabe National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, including Elkhorn Canyon and Wildcat Canyon, which descend toward the surrounding basins. The area serves as a significant watershed for the region, marked by numerous springs and the flow of Wattles Creek. Human passage through this high country is limited to a network of Jeep Trails that skirt the base of peaks like White Rock. To the west, the land levels out into the Monitor Valley, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle gives way to the broad expanse of Stone Cabin Valley, illustrating the classic basin-and-range geography of central Nevada.
