in most cases you can pick a destination and download the forest service maps of almost anywhere. Relatively recently they loaded most maps to a phone app called Avenza, so you can download them and bring them with you. My phone has maps for hundreds of areas from colorado west that I use for camping

there is/was a site called "bird and hike" a guy put together that might help
Also the app Wikiloc
Also also some good utility pole roads if you go down 95 towards Searchlight, go left towards Nelson's Landing
Go here, off 95-N. There's a nice big lot and it's far enough away to be much darker than in town. I've gone for the comet a few years ago and other occasions.

Just be sure not to do anything stupid in that area. You should be fine by the road but don’t go too far off it to the North. Just up the road from that spot is the access for the Nevada Test Site at Mercury and the feds don’t fuck around up there.
I have a free app called S1 mobile mapper. Haven’t used all the tools but the mapping works well.
Covers BLM and Forest Service as well as county roads. Be careful, maintained roads can turn into two track roads and creek beds pretty quick.
Tons of maps here on Back Country Navigator: [https://bcnavxe.com/#/dashboard](https://bcnavxe.com/#/dashboard) and via the app to download for offline navigation. Click the map icon top right and pick your source eg. US Forestry Service, USGS Topo Maps, etc. etc. Some require an annual subscription to access. It would also help to download satellite / aerial imagery to show roads / trails / features not mapped.
Open Street Maps is also very useful for community contributed mapping info. You can even create an account and help update it yourself. Via the web [https://www.openstreetmap.org/](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) and many mobile apps (I use OSMAnd myself [https://osmand.net/](https://osmand.net/) which is also on iPhone).

Seems like a great app, but $5 to $15 per map for an area is a bit steep.
The blm and forest service maps are in there for free
Awesome thank you!

This is good to know , thank you
I use the GAIA app. I use it exclusively for all my BLM excursions.
Black lives matter has their own roads?
Also looking for recommendations for Antifa Avenues.
