2014 Map of Jacks Spring

About this map

Jacks Spring serves as a vital water point in this high-elevation basin where the Toiyabe National Forest and Inyo National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Huntoon Mountains in the southeast into the depths of Jacks Spring Canyon. This remote corner of Mineral County highlights the early 21st-century cattle and ranching infrastructure that persists in the Great Basin, centered around the Truman Mdw Ranch and the seasonal flow of Jacks Cr. The map details the network of forest roads and range tracks, such as Truman Mdw Ranch Q-019, which provide access to this isolated wilderness area near the Nevada-California border.
