About this map

Owens River and its intricate network of canals dominate the southern landscape of this Inyo County survey, showing the complex water management system near Bishop. The terrain transitions from the high Volcanic Tableland in the northwest down to the wetlands of Fish Slough, a distinctive ecological feature that marks the border between Inyo and Mono counties.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valley floor, with Brockmans Corner and Dixon Lane-Meadowcreek established near the base of Chalk Bluff. The map documents a heavily managed hydrologic environment, including the Owens River Canal, Uper Canal, and the S McNally Canal, all critical to the agricultural and residential development of Owens Valley. Roadways like Casa Diablo Rd and Fish Slough Rd provide the primary access through this desert-edge terrain.
