1988 Map of Huntoon Spring

About this map

Huntoon Spring serves as a critical water source in the high-elevation basin where the Excelsior Mountains and Adobe Hills converge along the Nevada-California state line. This 1980s landscape is characterized by its high-desert isolation, split between the Toiyabe National Forest and Inyo National Forest. Evidence of prospecting and extraction is found at Ant Projects and a specific Mine Shaft located northwest of the Huntoon Valley. The map details a network of 4wd tracks and seasonal waterways like Huntoon Creek that define the local topography. Boundary markers such as Mon 51 and Mon 52 denote the precise surveying of the state border, providing essential reference points for those studying the administrative and physical geography of this remote Great Basin region.
