2018 Map of Como

About this map

Como sits within the high-elevation terrain of the Pine Nut Mountains, a region defined by its complex network of canyons and isolated water sources. This 2018 survey documents the vicinity of Lyon Peak and Rawe Peak, where the landscape is marked by the historical footprint of subterranean activity at the Boyle Tunnel. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Stone Spring, Barton Springs, and Cottonwood Spring, suggests the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The map details the drainage patterns through Mill Canyon and Bull Canyon, illustrating how the topography transitions from steep summits to the lower reaches of Mineral Canyon. This layout reflects the area's history of remote mountain settlement and resource extraction, where roads and trails were dictated by the formidable alpine geography.
