2017 Map of Palomas Gap
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Caballo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Sierra County, defining a region where water sources were critical for early settlement and ranching. Named springs like Mescal Spring, Ash Spring, and Barney-Lorio Number 1 Spring provide vital points of interest for local history, marking the few reliable water points in a terrain of deep draws and canyons. The presence of Lead Mine Canyon suggests the area's mineral prospects, while prominent peaks like Turtle Mtn and Caballo Cone serve as clear navigational landmarks.
