2018 Map of Willow Peak

About this map

Willow Peak and the high ridges of the Spring Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a critical drainage and transit area where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert transition into steeper terrain. This 2018 survey details an intricate network of primitive roads and paths essential for mountain access, including the Wilderness Trail and Wheeler Peak Road. Water sources are the primary landmarks in this arid environment, with several vital points such as Willow Spring, Oak Spring, and Cougar Springs identified along the slopes. The inclusion of Wheeler Pass highlights a traditional route through the range, while the canyons and washes, such as Willow Canyon and Willow Creek, illustrate the hydrologic patterns that have shaped the local topography and historical movement through Clark County.
