2018 Map of Convict Lake

About this map

Mammoth Lakes serves as the gateway to this high-altitude landscape where the Sierra Nevada range meets the glacial basins of Mono County. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain south of the Mammoth Yosemite Airport, dominated by the massive peaks of Mt Morrison and Mt Baldwin. This alpine region is defined by its dramatic hydrology, from the deep waters of Convict Lake to the scattered high basins of Mildred Lake and Grass Lake. Settlement is sparse, limited to areas like Tobacco Flat and McGee Creek, while the broader landscape is preserved within the Inyo National Forest. Notable landmarks like Buzztail Spring and Horsetail Falls provide points of reference for those navigating the eastern slopes of Nevahbe Ridge.
