About this map

Fish Lake Valley serves as the focal point of this arid basin, where the high desert floor meets the rising elevations of the Silver Peak Range to the east. The drainage of Indian Garden Creek cuts through the southwest, descending from the rugged heights toward Owens Valley. This survey captures the rural infrastructure supporting life in this remote borderland, including a network of named tracks such as Windmill Rd, Pringle Way, and Miller Ln.

The prominent boundary between Nevada and California bisects the landscape diagonally, marking the transition from Esmeralda and Mono Counties. This political line cuts across the open terrain near White Wolf Canyon, illustrating how state borders often overlook physical topography in favor of straight-line surveying. Local habitation is indicated by small-scale developments like Swanger Circle Dr and Volumne Rd, which branch off the primary routes through the valley.
