About this map

Kingston sits at the base of the steep eastern front of the Toiyabe Range, where the mountains meet the wide expanse of the Big Smoky Valley. This 2018 survey illustrates the interface between the high-elevation terrain of the Toiyabe National Forest and the valley floor, specifically where drainage systems like Kingston Cr and Broad Canyon emerge from the peaks. The settlement is organized around a small network of streets such as Austin Ave and Toiyabe St, supported by the nearby Kingston Airport.

Evidence of local history and land use is found in the Kingston Cem and the various forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 012 RD, which provide access to the interior canyons. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Lander Co and Nye Co, cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle near Bowman Cr. High peaks like Bunker Hill dominate the northwest, feeding several named streams that descend toward the desert sinks.
