2018 Map of Banner Ridge
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Gold Crown Mine and the Wildrose Mine stand as prominent markers of mineral exploration within the Benton Range. This high-altitude landscape in the Inyo National Forest is defined by its complex network of canyons and ridges, including the namesake Banner Ridge and the broad expanse of Chidago Flat. Water sources such as Banner Springs, Deer Spring, and Moran Spring provided essential resources for both early mining operations and ranching activities, evidenced by the Watterson Troughs in the south. A rugged transportation network, including Benton Crossing and Casa Diablo Road, links these isolated features across Red Rock Canyon and Wildrose Canyon, reflecting the area's history of resource extraction and high-desert transit.
