1994 Map of Stony Ridge

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Diamond Mountains descend toward the edge of Honey Lake in this mid-1990s survey. This specific transition between the high forest and the valley floor reveals the extensive reach of the Sierra Army Depot, which occupies the flatlands along the lake's southwestern shoreline. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Brockman Canyon and Wales Canyon, while the higher elevations are defined by Stony Ridge and Cottonwood Peak. Small-scale agricultural and ranching footprints are visible at Clark Ranch and Ophelia. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the numerous named water sources such as Dinky Spring and Bull Spring, alongside industrial traces like the Quarry near Quarry Creek, illustrating the era's blend of federal military land use and rural resource extraction.
