About this map

Hammil Valley serves as a stark high-desert corridor between the Blind Spring Hill to the west and the soaring White Mountains to the east. At the center of this agricultural and ranching landscape sits the settlement of Hammil, where local access is defined by family-named routes such as Dawson Ranch Rd and Cinnamon Ranch Rd. The northeastern portion of the quadrangle reaches into the protected lands of the Inyo National Forest, encompassing the steep descent of Falls Canyon.

Hydrological features are intermittent but critical in this arid environment, evidenced by Yellowjacket Spring and the drainage of Spring Canyon Cr. The map details a network of desert roads including Fish Slough Rd and Chidago Canyon Rd, which trace the floor of Red Rock Canyon and provide access to the remote terrain. This 2021 update illustrates the enduring layout of ranching properties and federal lands in this part of Mono County.
