2012 Map of Chocolate Mountain

About this map

Oasis serves as a central point in this high-desert landscape, where ranching infrastructure meets the rising elevations of Chocolate Mountain. The area is defined by a sparse but vital road network including Eureka Valley Rd and Oasis Rd, which navigate the terrain between significant peaks like Sugarloaf Mountain and the high passage at Gilbert Pass. Water sources, though infrequent in this arid environment, are marked by Cottonwood Cr and Wyman Creek, alongside the isolated Tule Spring. Historical interest is anchored by White Mountain City, located along the route of Wyman Creek Rd. This survey documents the intersection of modern rural access roads with long-established landmarks, showing how the limited water supply and steep topography continue to dictate the placement of settlements and transit corridors in this remote portion of Mono County.
