2018 Map of McKinney Tanks

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest encompasses much of this high-desert terrain, where significant elevations like McKinney Tanks Summit and Hannapah Peak rise above the surrounding basin. The landscape is defined by the transition into the Ralston Desert at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Transportation through this arid region relies on a sparse network of historical routes, including the Hannapah Cutoff Road and the track through Parrotte Springs. Local naming conventions reflect the critical importance of water in this environment, evidenced by labels such as McKinney Tanks. The map serves as a detailed record of land management and natural topography in this part of Nye County, documenting the surveyed township and range boundaries that grid the high desert floor.
