2018 Map of The Monitor

About this map

The Monitor sits at a geographic crossroads in central Nevada, where the high ridges of the Toquima Range descend into the broad Monitor Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of high-desert drainage patterns and managed public lands, dominated by the eastern portions of the Toiyabe National Forest. Water is a defining scarce resource here, marked by E Toquima Spring and the seasonal flows of Stoneberger Cr and Willow Cr as they move toward the Stoneberger Basin. The map documents a network of remote access routes, including Belmont Rd and Petes Summit Road, that reflect the region's ranching and resource management history. The boundary line between Lander Co and Nye Co cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a precise reference for those researching land ownership or jurisdictional history in these remote Great Basin basins.
