2014 Map of Mount Montgomery

About this map

Montgomery Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Mineral County and Esmeralda County meet. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, stretching from the floor of Queen Valley and Buffalo Canyon up toward the ridges of Mustang Mtn and Garner Ridge. This 2014 survey documents the remote settlement at Mount Montgomery and the site at Gold Hit, providing a detailed view of the land as it exists within the eastern reaches of the Inyo National Forest. High-desert water sources are sparsely distributed but clearly identified, including Pinchot Springs and several seasonal drainages like Hutchinson Cr and Brownie Cr. Historical pathways and modern access points are traced through the rugged geography, most notably the Trail Canyon route and various flats like Sagehen Flat and Kennedy Flats.
