About this map

Cowtrack Mountain and the high desert terrain of the Inyo National Forest define this 1990s revision of Mono County. The landscape is marked by a network of 4WD trails that connect vital water sources like Cowtrack Spring, Gaspipe Spring, and Baxter Spring across an arid expanse. A clear Base Line separates township sections, illustrating the rigid surveying of the American West even in such isolated terrain.

Evidence of small-scale resource extraction appears at Redrock and a local Gravel Pit, while various Prospect markings suggest historical mineral exploration. Features such as a Corral and several wells indicate the continued importance of range management and livestock within the Granite Basin. This survey reflects the mid-1990s intersection of Forest Service land management and the enduring geological features of the Granite Mountain area.
