2015 Map of Cowtrack Mountain

About this map

Cowtrack Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape within the Inyo National Forest. The map reveals a terrain defined by isolated water sources essential for livestock and travelers in this arid region of Mono County, including Cowtrack Spring, Indian Spring, and Gaspipe Spring. The southern portion of the quadrangle opens into the broad Granite Basin, flanked by the peaks of Granite Mtn. A network of backcountry routes such as Baxters Road and Forest Service road 01n153 weave through the canyons, providing access to remote landmarks like North Canyon and Dexter Canyon. This 2015 survey illustrates a sparsely settled environment where geography is shaped by the presence of these vital springs and the massive granite formations of the eastern Sierra region.
