About this map

The Monitor Range dominates this portion of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the high-altitude landscape is carved by an intricate network of drainages and canyons. At the center of this terrain, Savory Mtn rises above the surrounding slopes, serving as a primary landmark for the network of seasonal waterways including Savory Creek and Little Savory Cr. The map details the transition from the high ridges down into the expansive Butler Basin and the secondary Bulter Basin 2.

Access to this high-country wilderness is marked by the Savory Creek Trailhead, situated near where the terrain drops into Copenhagen Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals the remote character of Nye County, documenting the exact paths of Willow Creek South and the Willow Creek Connection. The absence of developed settlements highlights the area's preservation as a primitive natural environment, essential for understanding the modern footprint of the Great Basin's protected lands.
