1989 Map of Wallace Canyon

About this map

The Toiyabe Range and the Monitor Range converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lander and Eureka counties. Established within the Toiyabe National Forest, the terrain is defined by steep drainage systems like Wallace Canyon and Brock Canyon that feed into the expansive Monitor Valley to the west. Evidence of water management and early ranching or travel routes appears in the form of named water sources such as Laxague Spring, Waldos Well, and Reynolds Creek. The inclusion of Battle Summit and the Charnac Basin provides valuable spatial context for researchers tracing historical movement through these central Nevada mountain corridors. This provisional survey captures the intersection of natural topography and remote landmarks before late-twentieth-century developments altered the character of the high desert basin and range province.
