2011 Map of Mount Hicks

About this map

Mount Hicks dominates the central portion of this Mineral County landscape, serving as a focal point for a network of forest roads and topographic landmarks. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Aurora Peak and the Bodie Mountains in the west toward the basin containing Alkali Lake to the east. This 2011 survey documents a remote high-desert environment where water sources like Mud Spring, Squaw Creek, and Burkham Tank were critical for range management and historical movement. A complex system of designated routes, including NFD 028 RD and various numbered forest service tracks, crisscrosses the drainages of Stone Cabin Canyon and the open expanse of Gregory Flats, reflecting the area's continued use for resource access and backcountry navigation.
