2021 Map of White Sage Canyon

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest lands dominate the high-elevation landscape of central Nevada in this 2021 survey, where the rugged Monitor Range transitions into the broad expanse of Monitor Valley. This map captures a remote section of the Great Basin where Lander, Eureka, and Nye Counties meet, centered on the drainage systems of White Sage Canyon and Horse Heaven Canyon. The terrain is defined by seasonal water sources such as Goat Spring and South Brock Spring, which have long been vital markers for livestock and land management in this arid interior. The transition from the steep grades of South Fork Brock Canyon to the valley floor reflects the classic basin-and-range topography that dictated the movement of early ranchers and mineral prospectors through this portion of the Toiyabe range.
