2012 Map of East of Waucoba Spring

About this map

Marble Canyon defines the northwest corner of this Inyo County landscape, marking a transition into the high desert peaks of the eastern California wilderness. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a sparsely settled region dominated by the geological formations of the Saline Range. The area is characterized by significant vertical relief, culminating at Eureka Peak in the southern portion of the quadrangle. With no established roads or modern settlements present, the map serves as a primary record of the physical geography and natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped transit through this part of the Inyo mountain system. It is a focused study of desert topography before the encroachment of any permanent modern infrastructure.
