2015 Map of Crooked Creek

About this map

The White-Inyo Range dominates this landscape within the Inyo National Forest, where high-altitude peaks and deep canyons define the border between Inyo and Mono counties. High points like Red Peak and Iron Mtn tower over a complex drainage system fed by Crooked Creek and Wyman Cr. The presence of Mill Canyon and Arrastre Meadow suggests a history of resource extraction, as an arrastre was a primitive mill for grinding ore, common in early California mining. Travel through this vertical terrain is marked by the Wyman Creek Rd, which navigates the descent toward the Owens Valley to the southeast. Other notable landmarks including Royal Gorge, Dead Horse Meadow, and Index Hill provide specific points of reference for navigating this expansive wilderness area.
