2012 Map of Huntoon Spring

About this map

Huntoon Valley occupies a high-elevation basin where the ephemeral drainage of Huntoon Cr flows between massive mountain ranges. The terrain is defined by the elevation gain into the Excelsior Mountains to the west and the Adobe Hills that dominate the southern reaches of the quadrangle. A primary water source for the area is Huntoon Spring, a critical landmark in this arid landscape. Human passage through this high country is marked by the Nfd 200 Trl, which provides access through the valley floor. The map illustrates a largely unpopulated portion of Mono County, focused on the natural hydrography and topographic extremes that shaped early land use and travel routes in this part of the eastern Sierra region.
