2021 Map of Bee Springs Canyon

About this map

Inyo National Forest and the White-Inyo Range dominate this 2021 landscape, where the sharp verticality of the Inyo Mountains meets the desert floor of Owens Valley. Water management is central to the valley's character, evidenced by the Owens River flowing alongside the Moiner Canal and Eclipse Ditch. High in the arid canyons, reliable water points like Bee Springs, Willow Springs, and Coyote Spring remain critical landmarks. The map also features the historic Winnedumah Paiute Monument near Paiute Canyon. Remote access is defined by specialized routes such as the Betty Jumbo Mine Trl and Pat Keyes Spring Trl, which lead into rugged terrain like Bee Springs Canyon and Vaughn Gulch, tracing the routes of miners and indigenous people alike near the small settlement of Kearsarge.
