1981 Map of Big Gyp Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this section of Sierra County, where high desert terrain and sparse water sources define the geography. The presence of the Gyp Hills and the prominent Big Gyp Mountain reflects the area's geological composition, which is heavily influenced by gypsum deposits. This arid landscape is punctuated by a network of critical water points that historically sustained movement through the basin, including Smith Springs, Gyp Spring, and Logan Spring.
