2018 Map of South Toiyabe Peak

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest surrounds the high elevations of the central Nevada ranges, where vertical drainages like Ophir Canyon and Marysville Canyon carve deep paths through the terrain. The map documents a landscape defined by seasonal grazing and historical extraction, evidenced by the Mohawk Pasture in the north and the Hamlin Mine perched on a western ridge. Water management and livestock history are central to this area, with the Werdenhoff Pasture situated near the headwaters of the N Twin River. This 2018 survey also highlights an extensive recreational network, including the Toiyabe Crest Natl Rec Trail which follows the high ridgelines. Connectivity between the deep canyons is maintained by primitive routes like Ophir Ridge Road and the Twin Rivers Loop, illustrating how modern recreation overlays older patterns of land use in Nye County.
