2021 Map of Crestview

About this map

Mono Craters and the surrounding high-desert terrain of the Inyo National Forest dominate this 2021 landscape, illustrating a complex network of forest roads and trails within the Long Valley Caldera. The settlement of Crestview sits near the southern boundary, where the Owens River Headwaters Wild and Scenic River begins its course through Alpers Canyon. Evidence of historical activity is preserved in labels like Old Rail Road, which snakes through the flats alongside modern routes like Old Stationhouse Rd. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Indiana Summit, Bald Mtn, and several expansive plains including East Craters Sand Flat and Big Sand Flat. This modern survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Dry Cr and the location of isolated water sources like Bald Mountain Spring in an otherwise arid environment.
