The Caballo Mountains define this arid landscape in Sierra County, where high peaks and deep drainage systems dominate the terrain. Significant elevations like Timber Mtn, Brushy Mtn, and Lone Mtn overlook a complex network of canyons and draws, including the evocatively named Bat Cave Canyon and Lead Mine Canyon. This 2020 map documents a vital water management system in the high desert, where named tanks such as Apache Gap Tank, Rincon Tank, and Ghost Tank capture intermittent runoff to support cattle or wildlife in the drought-prone basin.
