About this map

The Fish Springs State Fish Hatchery anchors the eastern edge of this Owens Valley landscape, situated along the base of the Poverty Hills. The 2012 topography is defined by dramatic volcanic and alluvial features, including the prominent rise of Crater Mountain and Fish Springs Hill. Water management and natural drainage patterns are central to the area's layout, with Tinemaha Cr and Taboose Cr flowing toward the valley floor from the high western slopes.

Backcountry access points like the Birch Lake Trailhead and Taboose Pass Trailhead connect the lower meadows to the high-elevation terrain. Small settlements and staging areas such as McMurry Meadows and the community of Fish Springs are linked by a network of specialized routes, including Mc Murry Meadows Rd and Taboose Creek Rd, reflecting the region's reliance on both industrial aquaculture and mountain recreation.
