2014 Map of Paradise Peak

About this map

Paradise Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Toiyabe National Forest, marking a significant point in the southern Paradise Range. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Granite Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, which descend from the ridgelines toward the lower elevations of the Pactolus Hills. In this arid environment, water sources are vital geographic markers, evidenced by the distribution of several named springs such as Sulphur Spring, Coyote Spring, and Paradise Spring. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by its natural topography rather than human settlement, with only the winding route of NF-075 providing managed access through the high forest land. The presence of features like Tungsten Canyon suggests a history of mineral interest common to this region of Nye County.
