2021 Map of Horse Thief Springs

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Horse Thief Springs provides a critical water source in this high desert landscape, situated near the transition between the Kingston Range and the southern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This 2021 survey illustrates the topographical divide between the California Valley to the west and the Mesquite Valley to the east, capturing a region where elevation and hydrology dictate human passage. The high-altitude crossing at Tecopa Pass serves as a focal point for movement through the mountains, while the presence of Beck Spring and Crystal Spring marks the essential watering holes that historically sustained travelers through these arid basins. The path of Excelsior Mine Rd winds through the southern portion of the map, tracing a route through the complex terrain that straddles the boundary between Inyo and San Bernardino Counties.
