Mud Meadow is located 0.7 mi west of Mud Meadow Reservoir and the Van Vleck Dam on the road to Soldier Meadows (located about 4 miles to the north).
Joseph Goldsborough Bruff traveled through the area in 1849 and drew a landscape of a Singular volcanic formation[1].
In 1877, Thomas W. Symons traveled through the area: " High Rock Canon is a very long and very narrow cation generally from 50 to 200 yards in width with vertical walls two to five hundred feet in height. We traveled for nearly 40 miles through the canon, and, emerging therefrom proceeded on to Mud Meadows the residence of Mr Wenner one of the large cattle owners of the country. This Mud Meadows lie on the borders of the great Black Rock Desert and are the wintering place for a goodly number of cattle. Here Piute Peak was occupied as a triangulation station and we moved on to the southwest up Little High Rock Canon along the face of a white crumbling cliff under overhanging rocks and by a little lake which forms the sink for the waters which come down from High Rock and its branch canons; thence across the hills to a spring under Division Peak which was next occupied."[2]
