2014 Map of Griffith Peak

About this map

Griffith Peak and Mount Charleston dominate the northern terrain of this high-elevation landscape within the Toiyabe National Forest. The map documents a sharp transition in the Spring Mountains, where the limestone heights give way to the Mojave Desert in the southeast. This environment is defined by its vital water sources, including Lees Spring, Trout Springs, and Mazie Spring, which have historically dictated travel and survival in this arid region. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through Lee Spring Canyon and Trout Canyon, while human passage is marked by Lovell Canyon Rd and Lovell Summit Rd, tracing the lower contours and passes of the range. The cartography illustrates the complex topography of Sexton Ridge and the surrounding wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century.
