2013 Map of East Gavilan Canyon

About this map

Peterson Cow Camp and Crowther Cow Camp anchor the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, illustrating the enduring ranching traditions within the Carson National Forest. The presence of these named camps, along with Johnson Cow Camp to the south, reflects a land-use pattern where seasonal grazing and livestock management define the human footprint. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by a series of catchment basins including Gavilan Tank, Lovato Tank, and Tomas Tank that support regional operations.
