About this map

Truman Meadows sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape where the borders of California and Nevada meet. The terrain is defined by the Huntoon Mountains and a series of distinct canyons and flats, including McBride Flat and Buffalo Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals a network of vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment, specifically Sagehen Spring, McBride Springs, and Orchard Spring, which have historically supported local ranching and transit.

Transport through this part of Esmeralda County and its neighbors is dominated by gravel routes and primitive paths like Truman Meadows Rd and Pedro Ranch Road. These roads trace the contours of Queen Valley and provide access into both the Toiyabe National Forest and Inyo National Forest. This map documents the complex jurisdictional intersections of Mineral, Mono, and Esmeralda counties as they converge near Truman Canyon.
