2014 Map of Horse Mountain

About this map

Horse Mountain and Horse Mountain Spring anchor the southeastern corner of this high desert landscape in Lake County. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features, including the distinct peaks of Elk Mtn and the western slopes of Fredrick Butte. This mid-2010s survey reveals a sparse but deliberate network of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as BLM 6111-0-00 and BLM 6121-0-00, which provide access to this remote rangeland. The Christmas Valley Hwy cuts a straight path through the central portion of the map, connecting the vastness of Hansen Vly with local routes like Brimwell Rd and De Sena Rd. A notable human imprint on the land is found at Brim Seeding, reflecting land management practices used to stabilize and manage vegetation in this arid environment.
