2015 Map of Craig Canyon

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this terrain, where the northern Mojave Desert meets the high elevations of the White-Inyo Range. The landscape is defined by the dramatic drop from mountain ridges into the Saline Valley, a closed basin featuring the seasonal Salt Lake. Extensive drainage systems including Waucoba Wash and numerous steep canyons like Craig Canyon, Beveridge Canyon, and Hunter Canyon illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this arid environment. Transportation through this part of Inyo County is limited to the unpaved Saline Valley Rd, which skirts the eastern edges of the mountains. This 2015 survey provides a modern topographical view of the region's wilderness boundaries and geographic landmarks such as Daisy Canyon and San Lucas Canyon.
