2021 Map of North Shoshone Peak

About this map

North Shoshone Peak towers over the central Shoshone Mountains in this 2021 survey of the high-desert terrain spanning the border of Lander and Nye Counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, where steep drainage systems like Devils Gate Canyon and Underdown Canyon carve paths through the mountain range. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, represented by named sites such as Lower Cole Camp Spring and Upper Cole Camp Springs. The eastern edge of the map descends toward the Reese River Valley, while the western slopes feed into Peterson Creek and Schoonover Creek. Entirely contained within the Toiyabe National Forest, the area is primarily accessible via Forest Service roads like Ione Road and the 300A trail system, providing a detailed record of the ridgelines and canyons north of Becker Canyon.
