About this map

Toiyabe National Forest land dominates this high-altitude terrain in Mineral County, showing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and deep-cut drainage patterns. The map highlights the rugged path of Jacks Spring Canyon, which serves as a primary geographical feature through the center of the sheet. Though largely unsettled, the presence of a lone Cabin near the forest boundary suggests the area's use for seasonal grazing, forestry, or administrative purposes.

Water is a critical focus in this arid environment, with several labeled Spring points and the primary Jacks Spring providing vital resources for wildlife and early travelers. The western edge of the map includes portions of the Inyo National Forest, illustrating the shared administration and complex management of these federal lands during the 1990s. This survey is particularly useful for identifying minor landmarks and 4WD trails used by those navigating the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills.
