2012 Map of Chidago Canyon

About this map

Hammil Valley and the northern reaches of Chalfant Valley define this landscape along the eastern edge of Mono County. The map details a high-desert environment where drainage systems like Millner Cr and the marshy Fish Slough descend toward the valley floor. Transportation in this arid region is marked by a network of specialized routes, including Petroglyph Rd, which hints at the archaeological significance of the area, and White Mountain Ranch Rd serving the local agricultural holdings. The eponymous Chidago Canyon cuts through the central terrain, tracked by the winding Chidago Canyon Rd. This survey documents the intersection of natural alluvial fan structures and the human footprints of ranching and historical transit corridors in the early 21st century.
