About this map

Haskell Peak and Little Haskell Peak anchor the high ground in this terrain-driven survey along the California-Nevada border. The landscape is defined by a series of drainages, most notably Evans Canyon and Balls Canyon, which feed into the Long Valley Cr system. Settlement patterns are sparse and focused on ranching and specialized agriculture, evidenced by Balls Ranch and the Old Fish Farm situated near the canyon floors.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the valley, with Frontage Rd and Long Valley Rd tracing the path of the creek toward the community of Purdy. In the southwest corner, the elevation rises sharply toward Burma Summit. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in this border region, from the narrow winding paths of Scott Rd to the named peaks and canyons that have long defined local navigation.
