2018 Map of Davis Mountain

About this map

Davis Mtn and the high desert terrain of the White-Inyo Range dominate this landscape along the Nevada and California border. In the late 2010s, this region of Esmeralda County remained a sparsely populated wilderness, characterized by steep canyons and seasonal waterways. Historically significant routes like B&B Mine Rd and Indian Creek Road provide access to the interior of the Inyo National Forest, suggesting a legacy of resource extraction and rugged navigation. Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the paths of Chiatovich Cr and Middle Creek, while features like Sagehen Spring and Post Meadow highlight the critical role of water sources in this arid environment. The map captures the transition between high mountain peaks and lower elevations like Wildhorse Flat, providing a precise record of the natural topography.
