2021 Map of Simpson Park Canyon

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest lands dominate this central Nevada landscape, where the high terrain of the Simpson Park Range meets the northern reaches of the Big Smoky Valley. The map highlights a network of water sources essential to this arid environment, including Windlass Spring, Reeder Spring, and Goodyear Spring. A historical legacy is preserved in the naming of the Pony Express Loop in the northeast, alongside modern forest access routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 054 Rd. Ranching and resource extraction are evident through the Blackbird Ranch and the Lowboy Mine spur, while notable elevations like Bob Scotts Summit define the western boundary. This survey provides a look at the intersection of public land management and the enduring geographic markers of the American West.
