About this map

The Caballo Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, providing a high-relief backdrop for a network of deep-cut drainage systems and springs in the high desert of Sierra County. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Turtle Mountain and Caballo Cone, while the Pedro Armendaris No 33 land grant boundary marks a significant portion of the northern quadrangle. Historically, the area shows evidence of mineral exploration with several Prospects noted near Lead Mine Canyon, reflecting the region's mining heritage.
