About this map

The mountain resort community of June Lake is the primary focus of this study, positioned along the iconic June Lake Loop. This glacial landscape, shaped by the Sierra Nevada range, includes a chain of significant water bodies including Grant Lake, Gull Lake, and Silver Lake. The topography is marked by striking volcanic features such as Obsidian Dome, Wilson Butte, and the Aeolian Buttes, which rise above the sandy floor of Pumice Valley.

An interesting piece of regional infrastructure is visible in the northeast, where the Mono Craters Tunnel cuts through the volcanic terrain. This map highlights the intersection of recreation and geology, with landmarks like Oh Ridge and Reversed Peak overlooking the basin. The eastern edge transition into the Mono Craters suggests the complex volcanic history of the region within the Inyo National Forest.
