1980 Map of Farrington Canyon

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Toiyabe Range shown here, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and perennial water sources. The map centers on the namesake Farrington Canyon and the Farrington Ranch located along Cloverdale Creek. This area of Nye County demonstrates a traditional Great Basin ranching and grazing layout, with vital water sources such as Barney Meadows Spring and Little Meadows supporting high-country activity. The presence of numerous named drainages like Peavine Canyon, Poplar Canyon, and Weeks Creek reveals a complex watershed feeding into Cottonwood Basin, essential for the remote operations in this part of the Nevada interior. A Pack Trail winding through the northern peaks highlights the reliance on historical backcountry routes for traversing these steep elevations.
