About this map

Sweetwater Mountains and the New Bull Range dominate this high-altitude landscape in Mono County, where complex drainage systems like Swauger Creek and Huntoon Creek flow toward the lower basins. The map captures a moment in the late 1980s when the region was primarily managed as part of the Toiyabe National Forest. Human presence is sparse, marked by seasonal or resource-based sites such as Pimentel Meadows and the isolated Log Cabin located near the eponymous Log Cabin Creek.

In the southeastern corner, the terrain drops into the Bridgeport Valley, revealing the reach of the Bridgeport Reservoir fed by Buckeye Creek and Robinson Creek. This area illustrates the critical water management infrastructure necessary for the surrounding valleys. Geologic activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near Swauger Creek, while the numerous canyons, such as Sario Canyon and Yaney Canyon, trace the steep descent from peaks like Mount Jackson.
