2011 Map of Toulon Peak

About this map

Toulon and the surrounding high desert of Pershing County are defined by the stark contrast between the arid slopes of the Trinity Range and the life-giving waters of the Humboldt Sink. This landscape is anchored by Toulon Peak, which overlooks a network of transportation routes including the modern Interstate corridor and the older Ragged Top Rd. The map illustrates a critical hydrological intersection where Toulon Spring provides a rare upland water source above the expansive basins of Toulon Lake and Humboldt Lake. This area reflects the persistent importance of water and transit in the Great Basin, with the location of Browns Post Office serving as a tangible marker of the region's historical postal and settlement network alongside the rail-aligned community of Toulon.
