1990 Map of Holloway Mountain

About this map

Holloway Mountain anchors this 1990 survey of the high desert terrain straddling the Oregon and Nevada border. This sparsely settled region within the Trout Creek Mountains is defined by a complex network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including Cottonwood Creek and the southern Kings River Valley. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks such as a Log Cabin situated near Log Cabin Creek and a Gaging Station further south. The land’s geology is highlighted by scattered Prospects and numerous named springs, such as Holloway Spring and Cherry Patch Spring, which provided essential water for range management and mining exploration. Cattle ranching and mineral prospecting appear as the primary drivers of activity in this remote landscape, connected by a network of unimproved roads and trails leading through Rodeo Creek and across Holloway Ridge.
