1994 Map of Dexter Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Inyo National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where numerous springs and meadows support a complex drainage system within the Sierra Nevada foothills. The terrain is defined by dramatic relief, ranging from Sagehen Peak and the high plateaus of Wild Horse Meadow down to the carved depths of Dexter Canyon and Wet Canyon. A network of 4WD trails provides the primary access through these ridges, connecting remote landmarks like Crooked Meadows and Johnny Meadow. In the southern reaches, the land levels into Long Valley, where the Owens River and man-made features like a Ditch reveal the vital role of water management in this arid region. The presence of a Sentinel Meadow Research Natural Area underscores the ecological significance of the riparian zones around Sentinel Meadow and Mc Laughlin Springs. Traces of early industrial activity appear in the northeast, marked by an Adit and various Prospects.
