About this map

The Volcanic Tableland dominates the northern expanse of this survey, where the Mono Co Inyo Co boundary cuts across a stark landscape defined by the drainage of Fish Slough. This waterway descends toward the Owens River, which snakes through the southern portion of the map near Pleasant Valley. The transition from the high tablelands to the river valley is marked by the distinct elevation of Chalk Bluff, providing a dramatic topographical break in the terrain.

Near the southern edge, the settlement of Bishop and the crossroads at Brockmans Corner reveal the area's modern development pattern. A network of irrigation and water management is evident through features like the S McNally Canal and N Fork Bishop Cr, which support the communities at the base of the Sierra foothills. Local travel is facilitated by historic routes such as Casa Diablo RD and Chalk Bluff RD, connecting the agricultural valley floor with the higher volcanic plateaus.
