About this map

Wheeler Peak and Doso Doyabi dominate this high-elevation landscape within Great Basin National Park. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and glacial features, including the Hub Mine Basin and a series of alpine water bodies such as Baker Lake, Johnson Lake, and the small Treasure Lake. A dense network of trails, such as the Glacier Trl and Baker Lake Trl, suggests the area's importance for backcountry recreation and conservation management under both the National Park Service and Humboldt National Forest.

Canyons like Williams Canyon and Pole Canyon carve through the Snake Range, leading toward prominent summits like Mt Washington and Lincoln Peak. The presence of features like Raised Spring and Big Wash Spring highlights the critical water sources in this arid high-mountain environment. This survey captures the protected wilderness at the start of the 2020s, documenting the established trail systems and geographic nomenclature of the Great Basin's most iconic peaks.
