1994 Map of West of Huntoon Spring

About this map

The Von Schmidt Boundary slices diagonally across this high-elevation terrain, marking the 19th-century survey line between California and Nevada. This high-desert landscape is defined by the convergence of the Toiyabe National Forest and the Inyo National Forest, where the Excelsior Mountains meet the Adobe Hills. The map details a network of primitive 4WD tracks and trails that navigate the arid topography, serving as the primary infrastructure for this remote region. Water features are sparse but critical, evidenced by the presence of Huntoon Creek and a localized Cistern, highlighting the resource management necessary in these national forest lands during the late twentieth century.
