About this map

Bald Mountain and the high ridges of the Toiyabe Range dominate this 1990 survey of Eureka County, capturing a high-altitude landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin. The terrain is marked by steep drainage systems, where the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork coalesce within the Toiyabe National Forest. Human presence is concentrated around water and mineral potential, evidenced by Morrison Ranch and Ardans Ranch on the eastern edge near Allison Creek.

The map reveals the intersection of natural features and high-elevation utility, specifically the Bald Mountain Radio Tower standing at a key vantage point. To the south, the Monitor Range rises beyond the Charnac Basin. For those interested in land use and exploration, several prospect markings and the complex network of canyons, such as Wallace Canyon and Hodges Canyon, illustrate a landscape shaped by both grazing and early mineral exploration.
