1985 Map of Mc Clede Mountain

About this map

Mc Clede Mountain and the surrounding high country of Sierra County define this arid landscape as documented in the mid-1980s. The terrain is a complex of canyons and peaks, where seasonal water sources like Oak Spring and Mc Clede Spring provided vital points of orientation for land users. The map traces the winding paths of Tierra Blanca Creek and Berrenda Creek, which cut through the uplifted ridges of Sibley Mountain and Berrenda Mountain. Notable landmarks such as O Bar O Peak and its namesake O Bar O Spring suggest a history of localized ranching or landmark-based navigation in this high-desert environment. This provisional survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of Jaralosa Draw and Dry Draw before more modern developments altered the rural character of the region.
