About this map

Monitor Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this Lander County landscape in 2012. The topography is dominated by steep drainages, most notably Wallace Canyon and the branching network of Brock Canyon and South Fork Brock Canyon. These geological features illustrate the complex water-shedding patterns of the region, where seasonal drainage is a primary shaper of the land.

Remote water sources such as Laxague Spring and Reynolds Cr provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. While the area lacks permanent settlements, a network of forest service and local roads, including routes 512 and 262, provides access to landmarks like Bottle Summit. The map is a detailed record of the unimproved roads and natural springs that are vital for navigating this part of Nevada.
