2021 Map of Highland Peak

About this map

Highland Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the southern reaches of the Bristol Range and Highland Range. The map reveals a topography defined by steep vertical relief and a network of named drainages including Sheridan Canyon, Peaslee Canyon, and Dead Bull Canyon. Human presence is concentrated near the eastern edge at Mendha and Big Trees, while the rugged interior is accessible primarily via the Access Route Trl and various mountain passes like Stampede Gap and Manhattan Gap. Water sources are sparse but critical markers of local history and land use, represented by several high-elevation seeps such as Highland Spring, Deadman Spring, and Floral Spring. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the region's complex geology and the infrastructure required to navigate its high-desert peaks and canyons.
