2021 Map of Aurora

About this map

Toiyabe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Nevada-California state line cuts through the Bodie Hills. The terrain is defined by volcanic features and prominent summits, including Aurora Crater and Sugarloaf Mtn. Settlement is concentrated at Fletcher in the north and the mountain locality of Del Monte further south. The map reveals an intricate network of trails and rugged tracks like the Cemetery Spur Trl and Ruins Trl near Aurora Hill, which hint at the region's mining heritage. Water is scarce in this arid environment, marked by intermittent flows like Rough Cr and Bodie Cr, along with isolated points like Fletcher Spring and Tamarack Spring. The presence of Dry Lake in the southwest further illustrates the basin-and-range geography characteristic of this borderland area.
