About this map

The Reese River flows through this high-altitude basin where the boundaries of Lander and Nye Counties meet. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape of deep canyons and drainages, including the prominent Reese River Butte and the sharp relief of Devils Gate Canyon. Much of the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep terrain funnels into seasonal watercourses like Washington Cr and San Pedro Cr.

Transport through this isolated region is marked by historic corridors such as Reese River Rd and Ione Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floor. Researchers will find a detailed look at the drainage network of the Shoshone Mountains, tracing paths from Elkhorn Canyon in the north to Underdown Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon further south. The map preserves the exact alignment of Forest Service routes like NF-016 and NF-087 as they existed in the early 21st century.
