2021 Map of Seven Troughs SE

About this map

The Seven Troughs Range dominates the northwestern corner of this territory, giving way to the open reaches of Sage Valley in the northeast. This high-desert landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and drainage patterns, most notably through Toll Rock Canyon, which cuts a significant path through the arid terrain. The lack of modern development or permanent settlements across these townships emphasizes the isolation of the Great Basin during this era of mapping. Surveyors from the U.S. Geological Survey have documented the intricate contouring of the range, revealing a landscape where water and elevation dictate the few routes through the area, such as the tracks following the natural contours of the valley floors and canyon passes.
