About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the White-Inyo Range dominates this portion of the Inyo National Forest, defined by a network of steep canyons and alpine meadows. Rising to prominence are Blanco Mountain and Clem Nelson Peak, while the north is marked by high-altitude features like Big Prospector Meadow and Sage Hen Flat. The geography is carved by seasonal drainage systems such as Silver Canyon and Wyman Cr, which cut through the complex geological structures of the range.

Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated points like Cedar Spring and Goat Spring. The map documents the boundary between Mono and Inyo Counties, passing just north of County Line Hill. For those studying the wilderness history of the Great Basin, the landforms like Reed Flat and Poleta Canyon provide essential context for understanding early grazing and survey activities in these remote mountains.
