About this map

The Argus Range defines this high-desert landscape in southeastern Inyo County, where steep drainage systems descend toward the Mojave Desert. The map centers on the small settlement and canyon of Homewood Canyon, which serves as a primary access point into the mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water sources, with numerous named springs such as Bircham Springs, Ruby Spring, and Coyote Spring scattered throughout the canyons.

The presence of named drainages like Bruce Canyon, Crow Canyon, and Rattlesnake Canyon highlights the complex topography of the region. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the southeast, where Homewood Canyon Rd and Crow Canyon Rd provide connectivity between the residential areas and the higher elevations of the Etcharren Valley. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for remote water points and established routes through the northern desert reaches.
