2015 Map of Chalfant Valley

About this map

Chalfant Valley occupies the lowland basin of this Mono County landscape, situated at the eastern edge of California where the desert floor meets the rising peaks of the White Mountains. The transition from the valley's residential grid to the high-altitude terrain of the Inyo National Forest is immediate, marked by dramatic relief and deep drainages like Jeffrey Mine Canyon and Sacramento Canyon. To the northeast, the elevation climbs toward Mount Barcroft and the White Inyo Range. The map documents the water resources critical to this arid environment, including the courses of Millner Cr and Piute Cr. Transportation in the valley is defined by a primary north-south corridor along Valley Rd, supplemented by local routes like Slim Princess Rd and Chalfant Rd, which provide access to the canyon mouths and forest boundaries.
