2021 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Nye County, dominated by the ridges of the Toquima Range. The terrain is defined by extreme vertical relief, stretching from the peaks of Mt Jefferson and Shoshone Mtn down through a complex network of drainages. These canyons, including Jefferson Canyon, Berlin Canyon, and Slaughterhouse Canyon, serve as the primary corridors through the high country. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with several named points such as Wild Horse Spring, Soldier Spring, and Pipe Organ Spring appearing along the slopes. A network of trails, such as the Mount Jefferson Trail and Windy Pass Trail, provides the primary means of navigation through the mountain passes. The map also reveals localized features like Round Meadow and Andrews Basin, which offer rare breaks in the steep topography of the range.
