2018 Map of Troy Canyon

About this map

Troy Canyon and the high peaks of the Grant Range dominate this interior Nevada landscape within the Humboldt National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of steep drainage systems, including Irwin Canyon, Scofield Canyon, and Rimrock Canyon, which cut through the carbonate rock of the range toward the desert floor. The presence of Midland Trail Rd in the northwest corner provides a link to historical transcontinental travel routes, while Natl Forest Develop Road 420 Rd offers deeper access into the mountain interior. Water sources are critical but sparse, marked by features such as Ox Spring and its associated Ox Spring Wash, alongside seasonal flows like Little Meadows Cr and Bordoli Cr. This 2018 survey details the high-elevation terrain around Troy Peak, capturing the primitive road networks used by ranchers and hunters in this part of Nye County.
