About this map

Dunderberg Mill sits on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, marking a legacy of high-altitude extraction in this part of Mono County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where prominent features like Dunderberg Peak and Virginia Peak tower over a glaciated basin filled with dozens of alpine water bodies. The settlement pattern is largely recreational and seasonal, centered around the Virginia Lakes Resort and the Green Creek Summer Home Area.

Transport and access are dictated by the terrain, with Lundy Lake Rd providing a primary route toward the Lundy Canyon Trailhead. Hikers and researchers can trace paths through Virginia Pass or navigate the drainages of Return Cr and W Fork Green Cr. The density of named lakes, from Hunewill Lake in the north to Cooney Lake and Frog Lakes in the south, indicates a well-established network of trails and fishing destinations that have served visitors for generations.
