2012 Map of Beatty Junction
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Cottonball Basin dominates this landscape, revealing a salt-crusted expanse where water sources are rare and vital. This 2012 topographic study of the Inyo County desert highlights the isolation of West Side Borax Camp, a site tied to the area's industrial mining history. The map traces the critical transit corridors of the Daylight Pass Cutoff and State Route 178 190, which meet at the small settlement of Beatty Junction. Hydrological features like Sulphur Spring, Salt Springs, and the ephemeral Salt Cr illustrate the precarious water network of the valley floor, providing essential context for understanding the environmental challenges faced by early borax miners and travelers passing through this arid basin.
