About this map

Fish Lake Valley serves as the focal point for this mid-1990s survey, where the arid high-desert floor meets the eastern slopes of the White Mountains. The small settlement of Dyer is detailed here, containing essential community landmarks like the Dyer Sch and a local Cem. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of ditches and an Aqueduct, illustrating the vital role of water management in this interior basin.

The map preserves the precise Nevada California Boundary and the historical Von Schmidt Line, which cuts diagonally across the township grids. In the southwest, the boundary of the Inyo National Forest is marked as it encompasses the rugged drainage basins of Perry Aiken Creek and McAfee Creek. Mineral exploration is evident through numerous Prospect labels scattered across the eastern heights of Brown Ridge, while the Landing Field near the valley center suggests the region's continued reliance on light aircraft for connectivity.
