About this map

Mount Patterson dominates the high-altitude landscape of the Sweetwater Mountains on this borderland survey between California and Nevada. Within the Toiyabe National Forest, the map records a terrain defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Wheeler Peak and South Sister down into steep drainages like Silverado Canyon and Ferris Canyon. The settlement of Belfort sits near the eastern edge, positioned between Boulder Flat and the headwaters of Green Cr.

Water management and primitive transit are evident through features like Lobdell Lake and the Lobdell Lake-Jackass Flat Rd. The network of trails, including the Upper Deep Trail and Little Deep Creek Spur, suggests a landscape used primarily for remote access and forestry rather than dense development. The survey clearly delineates the complex boundary between Lyon and Mono counties and the interstate line between Nevada and California.
