2021 Map of Carico Lake South

About this map

Carico Lake Valley serves as the central drainage for this high-altitude basin in Lander County, where the intermittent flow of Hall Cr transitions from the western slopes into the valley floor. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including Elephant Head Spring and Wholey Spring Number Two, which represent critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the transition from the Red Mountains in the southeast to the expansive Stone Cabin Basin in the northwest, connected by Stone Cabin Canyon. Named roads such as Fillipini Rd and Dry Lake Rd trace the paths through the sagebrush and scrub, providing access to the remote canyons and springs that have long supported ranching and prospecting in the Great Basin.
