About this map

Toiyabe National Forest and Inyo National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape along the intersection of the California-Nevada state line and the border of Mono and Mineral counties. The topography is defined by the central prominence of Cedar Hill and the long, dry expanse of the Alkali Valley. This area reflects a complex network of historic transit and resource management, where utility corridors like Pole Line Rd intersect with numerous named pathways and backcountry routes.

Water sources are scarce but significant, notably Locklin Lake and Five Mile Spring in the northern reaches, while deep incisions like Trench Canyon suggest the erosional forces at work. The map documents several specialized trails, such as the Mark Twain Camp Trl and the Stateline Shortcut Trl, which follow the legacy of nineteenth-century surveys and early travel through this high-altitude terrain.
