Raptors find this area appealing. You'll find no lakes and precious little water except when snow melts and runs off from higher elevations. Small springs are marked on the map but are not reliable. It is relatively easy to attain the high country with great views. Few people ever see this region of Nevada.
Detailed maps are available from the district ranger for three dollars.
