2023 Map of McLeod Tank

About this map

The Caballo Mountains define the high ground of this Sierra County landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity across the arid terrain. A sophisticated network of catchment systems, including McLeod Tank, Broken House Tank, and Hidden Tank, illustrates the essential infrastructure required for ranching and survival in the high desert. These features are distributed through a complex system of drainages such as McLeod Draw and Broadhurst Arroyo, which serve as the primary conduits for seasonal runoff from the surrounding peaks.
