2018 Map of South Shoshone Peak

About this map

South Shoshone Peak and the high ridges of the Shoshone Mountains dominate this 2018 survey of the Toiyabe National Forest in central Nevada. The map captures a high-elevation landscape defined by complex drainages and mountain passes, including the remote canyon systems of North Fork Barrett Canyon and Waterfall Canyon. Evidence of human movement through this backcountry is preserved in a network of named trails and forest routes such as the War Eagle Spring Bypass and Idlewild Creek Loop. A small cluster of activity at Idlewild serves as a lone landmark in the southwest, while the surrounding terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses like Ione Wash and Lebeau Cr. The geography reflects the intersection of Lander Co and Nye Co, showcasing the stark transition from valley washes to timbered peaks like Bald Mtn.
