2015 Map of Bee Springs Canyon

About this map

Kearsarge stands at the western edge of this transition from the floor of the Owens Valley into the steep rises of the White Inyo Range. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of numerous drainage features, including Mazourka Canyon, Bee Springs Canyon, and Vaughn Gulch, which carry seasonal runoff toward the Owens River. Water management is evident along the valley floor through the presence of the Mclver Canal and the Eclipse Ditch, reflecting the critical role of irrigation in this arid environment. To the east, the terrain ascends into the Inyo National Forest, where the Winnedumah Paiute Monument serves as a prominent cultural and natural landmark. The map detail provides a clear look at the intersection of natural springs like Willow Springs and Coyote Spring with the historical land divisions and simple road networks such as Citrus Rd and Powerline Rd.
