2018 Map of Bee Springs Canyon

About this map

The White-Inyo Range dominates this landscape, where steep ravines descend toward the Owens Valley floor. Near the small community of Kearsarge, the terrain transitions from rugged mountain slopes to the managed water systems of the valley below. Notable hydraulic infrastructure, such as the McIver Canal and Eclipse Ditch, lines the path of the Owens River, indicating the intensive water management history of this arid region. High within the Inyo National Forest, the Winnedumah Paiute Monument stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the complex drainage systems of Mazourka Canyon and Bee Springs Canyon. The network of seasonal water sources, including Willow Springs and Coyote Spring, provides critical points of interest for those studying the early survival and movement through these canyons via routes like Mazourka Canyon Rd.
