2021 Map of Ione NW

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Paradise Range dominates the western portion of this topographic study, where steep slopes give way to the expansive floor of the Ione Valley. This landscape, much of it protected within the Toiyabe National Forest, is defined by a series of drainage networks that highlight the arid hydrology of the region. Significant features such as Ellsworth Canyon and Brunton Pass provide natural passages through the uplifted terrain, while seasonal watercourses like Sand Wash, Knickerbocker Wash, and Ione Wash illustrate the complex runoff patterns directed toward the valley floor. The map records modern access routes like the Idlewild Creek Bypass and Nat For Dev Rd 120, tracing the infrastructure required to navigate the remote reaches of Nye County.
