Benton Hot Springs lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Mono County, where the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada meet the Great Basin. This 2021 topographic record details the complex geography of the Benton Range and the tectonic depressions of Benton Valley and Blind Spring Valley. The area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the marshy margins of Black Lake to the high peaks of Black Mtn and Trafton Mtn. Within the boundaries of the Inyo National Forest, the map traces vital corridors such as Benton Crossing Rd and the Kelty Stock Trl. Local heritage is anchored by the Benton Hot Springs Cem, providing a precise reference for genealogists and researchers interested in this historic watering stop along the desert routes.
