About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this landscape in central Nevada, where the high elevations of the Monitor Range and McKinney Mountains meet the vast drainage basins of the Great Basin. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by its water sources, which are critical in such an arid environment. Springs like Bernice Spring, Little Cottonwood Spring, and Water Canyon Spring are mapped with precision, serving as vital landmarks for both livestock management and backcountry navigation.

Lower elevations transition into the West Stone Cabin Valley and the edge of the Ralston Desert, showing a network of forest service roads including NF-162 and NF-402. Notable topographic features such as Piñon Peak and the deep incisions of Bunch Brush Canyon and Longstreet Canyon illustrate the complex erosional patterns of the region. The map provides a contemporary view of these public lands, marking the intersections of township and range lines that have organized this territory for over a century.
