1990 Map of Indian Garden Mtn

About this map

Indian Garden Mountain dominates the eastern high ground of this White Pine County landscape, where the high desert meets the protected timber of the Humboldt National Forest. In an arid environment, the map reveals a vital network of seasonal water sources and springs crucial for livestock and wildlife, such as Indian Garden Spring and Sage Hen Spring. The drainage patterns are defined by deep cuts like Freeland Canyon and Lampson Canyon, while the southern reaches level into Corduroy Basin. This 1990 provisional survey records the remote character of the White Pine Range just before the modern era, capturing a landscape largely untouched by significant development and defined by traditional names like Tom Plain Spring and Ellison Creek.
