About this map

Heenan Lake and the high peaks of the Toiyabe National Forest dominate this Sierra Nevada landscape along the California-Nevada border. The map documents the high-elevation terrain where Mogul Peak and High Peak overlook a complex system of canyons and alpine flats. Water drainage is a central theme, with the East Fork Carson River winding through the western portion, fed by numerous creeks such as Barney Riley Cr and Leviathan Cr.

Evidence of local history and ranching is found in the naming of several meadows and flats, including Company Meadows, Sagehen Flat, and Centerville Flat. The small settlement of Loope sits near the junction of Loope Canyon and Monitor Cr, while the Centerville Bridge provides a specific point of reference for historical crossing of Silver Cr. These features, alongside the Heenan Lake Rd and Bagley Valley Rd, illustrate the essential transit routes through these mountain passes.
