2014 Map of Lion Spring

About this map

Goshute Peak stands as the prominent landmark within the Goshute Mountains, a north-south range that dominates this high-altitude landscape. The terrain transitions sharply from the floor of the Goshute Valley on the western edge into steep, canyon-cut slopes. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, making named features like Lion Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Serviceberry Spring critical points of interest for historical land use and livestock movement. To the north, Morgan Basin and Spring Gulch represent the significant drainage patterns that define the mountain's northern flanks. The map illustrates a typical Great Basin topographical pattern, where vertical relief dictates the placement of trails and early survey boundaries near features like Lion Canyon and the prominent southern landmark of Black Point.
