1987 Map of Truman Meadows

About this map

Truman Meadows and the high desert basins of the Queen Valley are defined here by a series of springs and seasonal drainages along the interstate border. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a remote landscape where water sources like Sagehen Spring, McBride Springs, and Truman Spring have long dictated land use across the Toiyabe National Forest and Inyo National Forest. The map captures the historic Von Schmidt Line, the original boundary surveyed between California and Nevada, cutting across the rugged terrain near Benton Valley.
