About this map

Toiyabe National Forest and the Tahoe NF dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of California and Nevada. The terrain is defined by the Bold Mountain Range, where peaks like Haskell Peak and Little Haskell Peak overlook a complex network of drainages. Water courses such as Long Valley Creek and Purdy Cr dictate the movement through the region, winding toward the northwestern edge of Reno.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated near the historic location of Staverville and along the road corridors that follow the natural contours of the canyons. The map illustrates how human infrastructure, including Balls Canyon Rd and Long Valley Rd, adapts to the steep elevations of Evans Canyon and Donkey Canyon. The boundary between Lassen and Sierra counties cuts through the center of the sheet, marking a significant administrative divide in this mountainous transition zone.
