About this map

Mono Valley terrain dominates this 2018 survey of eastern California, where the landscape is defined by sparse water sources and essential desert transit routes. Much of the southern and eastern territory is protected within the Inyo National Forest, characterized by high-elevation contours and seasonal hydrography like Sulphur Pond. The namesake Alameda Well serves as a critical waypoint along Dobie Meadows Rd, which traverses the northern half of the quadrangle.

A network of primitive roads and spurs, including Deep Wells and Alameda Wells, indicates a landscape historically managed for livestock or resource access. The presence of the Huntoon Spur and Deep Wells Cutoff highlights the importance of these paths in navigating the remote terrain of Mono County. This map documents the persistent infrastructure required to maintain access to this arid stretch of the Great Basin edge.
