About this map

Anderson Field serves as a lone landmark within this portion of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the high desert terrain of Nye County is defined by complex drainage systems and steep canyons. To the east, the landscape transitions into the Little Fish Lake Valley, marked by the intermittent waters of Sevenmile Wash and the perennial Sevenmile Spring.

A network of forest roads and trails provides access to the remote interior, including the Sawmill Creek Loop Road and the Clear Creek Trailhead. The topography is dominated by prominent landforms such as Dobbin Summit and deep cuts like Tulle Canyon and Big Cow Canyon. The map details the hydrology of the region, from the namesake Fish Springs to the headwaters of Sawmill Cr and Danville Cr, illustrating the vital water sources that dictated movement and usage in this arid environment.
