About this map

The high ridges of the Carson Range dominate this 2021 perspective of the wilderness southwest of Reno. This section of the Toiyabe National Forest is defined by a dense network of recreational paths, including the Rim To Reno Trl and Hunter Creek Trl, which connect high-altitude water bodies like Hunter Lake and Fuller Lake. The landscape is a mix of steep drainages, such as Deep Canyon and Puny Dip Canyon, and high-elevation openings like Big Meadows and Davis Meadow.

Tracing the northern edge, the Truckee River carves through the Truckee Canyon near the settlement of Fleish. This modern topographic study captures the contemporary boundaries of the Toiyabe Forest and the varied peaks that frame the Truckee Meadows, including Snowflower Mtn and Alpine Walk Peak. It serves as an essential guide for understanding the relationship between the growing urban edge of Nevada and its protected alpine hinterlands.
