2012 Map of East of Waucoba Canyon

About this map

The Saline Range dominates the landscape of Inyo County in this 2012 topographic record. This high-desert terrain is characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainage patterns that flow downward toward the Saline Valley at the southern edge of the sheet. The survey illustrates the stark, unpopulated character of this portion of the California desert, where the lack of human settlements or improved roads highlights the region's preservation as an undeveloped natural area. Data from the National Hydrography Dataset and National Elevation Dataset provide a detailed look at the landforms and dry washes that define the area's hydrology and relief, offering a precise look at the land east of Waucoba Canyon during the early twenty-first century.
