About this map

The Monitor Range and Red Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Nevada, where the drainage of Stargo Creek and Savory Creek flows toward the eastern basins. Set within the Toiyabe National Forest, the map reveals a terrain defined by sharp elevation shifts and seasonal water sources like Stargo Spring. The presence of the Miniature Grand Canyon suggests a particularly dramatic erosion pattern carved into the volcanic or sedimentary rock of the region.

As the mountains descend toward the southeast, the topography flattens into the Little Fish Lake Valley, marked by the seasonal drainage of Sevenmile Wash. Transit through this remote area is limited to primitive routes such as Dobbin Summit and Willow Creek South, reflecting the persistent isolation of Nye County's interior. This 2018 survey provides an accurate view of the hydrography and summit access points used by modern land managers and backcountry travelers.
