2015 Map of Big Pine

About this map

Big Pine stands as the central hub of this eastern California landscape, situated where the floor of the Owens Valley meets the rising slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The community is defined by its relationship with water, as seen in the extensive network of the Big Pine Canal, Collins Canal, and the meandering Owens River. To the west, the topography climbs into the Inyo National Forest through features like Warren Bench and the drainages of Big Pine Creek. The map documents the residential layout of Rolling Green Terrace and the nearby settlement of Zurich to the east, while the towering White-Inyo Range frames the valley's opposite side. Notable water bodies such as Klondike Lake and Warren Lake punctuate the arid valley floor, illustrating the complex irrigation and natural hydrology of the region.
