2018 Map of Tippett Canyon

About this map

The Kern Mountains dominate the southern portion of this White Pine County landscape, rising sharply above the expansive Moffitt Flat and Antelope Valley. This high-desert terrain is defined by its scarce but vital water sources, including Moffitt Spring, Cedar Spring, and the Sanford Reservoir, which likely served the ranching interests that have long utilized these basins. The map traces the rugged paths of Ibapah Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd, connecting remote northern valleys with the interior canyons. Unique land features like the Crested Wheat Patch and Rye Grass Patch suggest specific areas of range management or natural forage, while landmarks such as Dutchman Summit and Cedar Pass mark the primary navigational thresholds through the high country between Tippett Canyon and Sanford Canyon.
