2020 Map of Saint Patrick Mountain

About this map

Saint Patrick Mtn serves as a prominent high point in this arid section of Lake County, where water management is the primary signature of human activity on the land. A network of man-made and natural catchments including Saint Patrick Reservoir, Dead Reservoir, and Sioux Reservoir indicates the critical importance of range improvements for livestock in the high desert. The presence of features like Settlement Waterhole and County Waterhole Number 2 highlights the organized effort to sustain life and industry in a rain-shadow environment.
