2011 Map of Tohakum Peak NW

About this map

Tohakum Peak and the surrounding ridgelines of the Lake Range define this high-elevation corner of Washoe County. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape where survival and navigation once depended entirely on widely dispersed water sources. A network of springs, including the descriptively named Moses Rock Spring, Jackass Spring, and Potato Patch Spring, are scattered across the terrain. Movement through the peaks is channeled through Fremont Pass, while the drainage system is marked by geographic landmarks like Hells Kitchen Canyon and Manure Canyon. In the southern portion of the sheet, Nugent Cyn serves as a primary corridor, leading toward Nugent Springs and the isolated Nugent Hole, providing essential reference points for researchers interested in the historical geography of Nevada's Great Basin territory.
