About this map

The Truckee Range dominates the central landscape of this 2018 survey, rising sharply between high desert basins in northern Nevada. The topography is defined by the prominent Juniper Peak, which stands as a central landmark overlooking the surrounding terrain. Along the eastern slopes, drainage patterns have carved out distinctive features such as Tolbert Canyon and Miry Place Canyon.

The map clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Washoe Co and Churchill Co, slicing through the high country. This document serves as a precise record of the undeveloped wilderness north of the Truckee River corridor, where the land is primarily characterized by the broad expanses of North Valley to the north and the smaller Little Valley to the west. The lack of established roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this high-elevation environment.
