About this map

Toiyabe National Forest lands dominate this portion of the Monitor Range, a high-elevation landscape defined by deep drainages and isolated peaks. The topography is shaped by significant waterways such as Copenhagen Cr within the northern Copenhagen Canyon and Little Savory Cr to the east. These intermittent streams cut through the high desert terrain, converging toward the central heights of Savory Mtn. High-altitude basins like Butler Basin suggest the seasonal grazing or resource extraction patterns common in this part of Nye County.

Evidence of historical backcountry transit appears through labeled pathways such as the Savory Creek Trl and the colloquially named Need A Name Trl. These routes follow the natural contours of the canyons, including Long Canyon and Butler Cr, connecting the more level basin floors to the higher ridges. The map also features geodetic markers like Bulter Basin 2 Tri, indicating its importance for high-altitude surveying and forest management.
