About this map

McNett Ranch sits at the base of the mountain range where the high desert terrain meets the northern reaches of Fish Lake Valley. This 2012 topography shows a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and springs, with Sagehen Spring providing a critical water point in the northern section near Dry Cr. The prominent peak of Davis Mountain anchors the southwestern quadrant, overlooking the high-altitude Post Meadow.

Resource extraction history is marked by the Red Rock Mine in the northwest, situated near the headwaters of Trail Cr. The map details a complex system of alluvial fans and washes, including the significant Chiatovich Cr and Middle Cr systems, which flow eastward from the steep slopes toward Wildhorse Flat. These watercourses and landmarks illustrate the transition between the arid valley floor and the elevated wilderness of the eastern Sierra region.
