About this map

Crestview sits within the eastern reaches of the Inyo National Forest, marking a landscape defined by volcanic geology and timber-management infrastructure. The northern section of the map is dominated by the volcanic forms of the Mono Craters and the East Craters Sand Flat, while the southern portion transitions into the massive Long Valley Caldera. This 2015 survey reveals a complex network of forest access and historical transportation routes, including the Old Rail Road and Old Stationhouse Rd, which speak to the area's logging and administrative history.

Water resources are concentrated in the south, where Big Springs feeds the upper Owens River near Glass Cr. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises such as Bald Mountain and Indiana Summit, alongside broad basins like Big Sand Flat and Little Sand Flat. This detailed topographic record traces modern cutoffs and loops like the Sandy Flats Bypass and the Get-Lost Cutoff across the high-altitude volcanic plains.
