About this map

Griffith Peak stands as a prominent high-altitude landmark within the high elevations of the Spring Mountains, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep canyons. This 2018 survey detail shows a network of essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including Lees Spring, Trout Springs, and Wild Rose Spring. These natural features are critical to the character of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the transition from high-mountain slopes like Sexton Ridge meets the lower expanses of the Mojave Desert.

The settlement at Trout Canyon is connected to the backcountry through a series of specialized routes such as Lovell Summit Road and the S Loop. These roads and trails imply the intersection of forest management, recreation, and historical access to seasonal springs and high-altitude lookouts. The map serves as a record of these fragile hydrological points and the rugged infrastructure required to navigate the complex terrain between Lee Spring Canyon and the desert floor.
