2020 Map of Horse Mountain

About this map

Horse Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this Lake County quadrangle, where high desert elevations and volcanic terrain meet a complex network of Bureau of Land Management routes. The presence of Horse Mountain Spring on the eastern flank of the mountain suggests a rare and vital water source for this arid region. To the north, the elevation levels out toward Elk Mtn, intersected by the long-distance Christmas Valley Hwy and traditional local corridors like Hanson Valley Rd. The map illustrates a modern pattern of land management and transportation, where named gravel and improved roads such as Brimwell Rd and Wagontre Rd provide access to the vast basins and ranges that define the local topography during the early 21st century.
