About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain in Nye County, where a complex network of drainages and seasonal water sources carves through the landscape. The northern reaches are defined by the rugged Pablo Canyon and Jett Canyon, while the central portion is marked by the namesake Toms Canyon and the winding Tom's Canyon Trail. These routes highlight the historical importance of access through the Great Basin mountains, linking disparate canyons and springs.

Water management is evident at the Horse Canyon Res, which collects runoff from Horse Cr in the eastern sector. To the southwest, Keough Spring and the nearby Keough Springs roadway suggest a vital watering point for travelers or livestock. The map also records numerous smaller geological features like Handcuff Canyon and Poplar Canyon, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that shaped local movement and land use within the forest boundaries.
