About this map

Bishop and its western outskirts appear in this 2015 study, illustrating the transition from the developed Owens Valley floor to the rising eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The map captures established residential clusters like West Bishop, Oteys Sierra Village, and Rocking K, alongside essential local infrastructure such as the Sewer Plant and the Owens River Canal. The irrigation and water management system is a defining characteristic of the landscape, marked by the Rawson Canal, Bishop Cr Canal, and natural flows like Bishop Creek.

Cultural and genealogical landmarks are well-represented, including the Pioneer Cemetery near the city center and the Sunland Cemetery further south. The map also documents the rugged terrain of the Tungsten Hills and Coyote Valley, extending into the protected lands of the Inyo National Forest. Notable outliers like Peterson Mill and Keough Hot Springs in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlight peripheral developments that have long served the community.
