1987 Map of Deep Springs Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Deep Springs Lake and the vast Deep Springs Depression dominate this arid landscape on the eastern edge of Inyo National Forest. This high-altitude basin reveals a complex network of water sources essential for life in the high desert, from Birch Creek and Beer Creek in the northern mountains to a string of named desert springs. Geologic features like The Elephant and Crystal Peak tower over the valley floor, which is crisscrossed by established 4WD routes. The presence of several prospects and a Borrow Pit suggests a history of mineral exploration and small-scale excavation throughout these rocky slopes. This 1980s era survey captures the basin just before the turn of the millennium, documenting the fragile water-driven geography of the Valley and its surrounding canyons like Payson Canyon.
