Map & Course Information

The Frenchman Spring map is located North of Vantage Rd. Use this area to familiarize yourself with the terrain and features you’ll see at all the venues this weekend. The relatively flat area with small cliffs, rocky features and various densities of sagebrush is very similar to the terrain at all three competition venues.

The model map is available in both 1:10,000 and 1:7,500 scale on the same Letter size page.
