Toulon and its surrounding wetlands serve as a focal point in this high-desert landscape within Pershing County. The terrain transitions sharply from the heights of the Trinity Range, anchored by Toulon Peak, down to the hydrologically significant basin of the Humboldt Sink. This 2018 survey captures the intricate boundary where the mountains meet the sprawling catchment area of Humboldt Lake and Toulon Lake. A critical water source, Toulon Spring, is located at the foot of the western slopes, suggesting its historical importance in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the modern transportation corridor, showing how Frontage Rd and local routes like Ragged Rd navigate the edges of the sink, providing a clear record of the physical and human geography of this Nevada interior.
