About this map

Grandview Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Sierra County region, providing a high vantage point over a complex network of drainage basins. In the early 1960s, the area was characterized by its cattle-ranching infrastructure, with numerous family-named landmarks and water sources like Evans Ranch, Avilas Camp, and East Avilas Tank scattered throughout the rugged terrain. The nomenclature of the land reflects a storied frontier history, evident in place names like No Mans Land and the imposing Thumb Tank Peak.
