2012 Map of Fall Canyon

About this map

The Grapevine Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Inyo County study, where deep drainage systems carve through the desert terrain. This 2012 survey captures the transition from high mountain slopes down to the broad expanse of Mesquite Flat in the south. The area is defined by its significant geological features, including the notable Red Wall Canyon, Fall Canyon, and Titus Canyon. Human access to this arid environment is limited to a few specific corridors, primarily the N Hwy and the unpaved Titus Canyon Rd, which tracks the wash of its namesake canyon. The mapping emphasizes the natural topography and the sparse infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the California desert.
