2014 Map of Dyer

About this map

Dyer sits at the transition between the valley floor and the rising slopes of the White-Inyo Range, marking a pocket of settlement along the Nevada-California border. This agricultural landscape is defined by a network of ranch roads, including Stanley Ranch Rd and Circle L Ranch Rd, which connect remote homesteads to the Dyer School and the Circle L Ranch Airport. The presence of the Gone Old Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in Esmeralda County. The western portion of the map is dominated by the protected lands of the Inyo National Forest, where steep canyons like Piper Canyon and drainage systems such as Leidy Cr and Perry Aiken Cr carve through the high terrain. The land division shows the distinct intersection of state lines and township boundaries within this high-desert basin.
