2014 Map of Huntoon Valley

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this Mineral County quadrangle, where the Excelsior Mountains rise sharply above the basin floor. The geography is defined by its wide alluvial basins and prominent mountain ridges, typical of the western Great Basin. The lower elevations are marked by the presence of Huntoon Valley in the southern reaches and the expansive Whisky Flat in the north. This 2014 survey captures a network of specialized routes, such as 178, 179, and 200, which provide access to this isolated landscape. A singular water source, Granite Spring, is noted on the eastern slopes, highlighting the vital and sparse nature of water resources in this desert environment. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships including t4n r30e and t4n r31e.
