2014 Map of Mosquito Creek

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this section of the high desert, where the steep eastern slopes of the Monitor Range meet the broad floor of Monitor Valley. This 2014 survey documents the complex drainage system of Mosquito Creek and its major tributaries, including North Fork Mosquito Creek and South Fork Mosquito Creek, which carve deep canyons through the high-altitude terrain. The topography rises sharply toward the east, reaching features like Table Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon. Historically significant for its inclusion of the National Forest Development Road 142, the map illustrates the infrastructure used to manage these public lands. Further north, the landscape includes Morgan Creek and the localized basin known as Johnson Hole, providing a detailed look at the water sources and land divisions within Nye County.
