About this map

The Monitor Range dominates this portion of Toiyabe National Forest in Nye County, Nevada. The high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, most notably Mosquito Creek, which is fed by the North Fork Mosquito Creek and South Fork Mosquito Creek. This area of central Nevada preserves a wilderness character where access is limited to paths like the Mosquito Creek Trail and the National Forest Development Road 094.

Landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon provide orientation for those navigating the high country. In the northern reaches, the geography opens into Johnson Hole and follows the course of Morgan Creek. This survey captures a region of Great Basin forest and range as it appeared in the early 21st century, mapping the critical water sources and rugged trails essential for ranching and recreation in this arid environment.
