2012 Map of Windy Peak

About this map

Mathis Ranch sits near the northern boundary of this high-elevation Nevada landscape, where the terrain transitions from steep canyons to alpine basins. The map documents a rugged water management history through the Osceola Ditch Point of Interest, a remnant of the mining era's infrastructure. To the south, the dramatic elevations of Bald Mountain and Buck Mountain overlook a series of glacial features including Stella Lake, Teresa Lake, and Brown Lake. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey details the complex drainage network of Mill Cr and Lehman Cr, alongside recreational infrastructure at the Wheeler Peak Campground and Lehman Creek Campground and Trailhead. Numerous named springs, such as Waking Spring and Monroe Spring, mark the sparse water sources across the Great Basin terrain.
