1990 Map of Carico Lake South

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Carico Lake Valley serves as the central drainage for this high-altitude basin, flanked by the Shoshone Range to the west and the Red Mountains to the east. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, most notably the seasonal Carico Lake (Dry) and several vital water sources like Elephant Head Spring, Placer Gulch Spring, and Wholey Spring No. 2. Evidence of resource exploration is scattered throughout the terrain in the form of multiple prospect sites, particularly along the slopes of Stone Cabin Basin and the eastern ridges. Deep incisions such as Stone Cabin Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon illustrate the erosional patterns of the Great Basin, while Hall Creek meanders toward the valley floor, tracing the natural contours of this remote high-desert environment.
