About this map

The eastern Sierra Nevada landscape around June Lake is defined by its dramatic volcanic and glacial features in this 1994 revision. The settlement of June Lake sits between its namesake water body and Gull Lake, serving as a central point for exploring the Ansel Adams Wilderness and the Inyo National Forest. To the north, the massive expanse of Grant Lake is regulated by a Dam and Spillway, with an Aqueduct and Penstock Tramway indicating the region's historical and ongoing importance to water and power management.

Volcanic history is prominent across the quadrangle, from the Mono Craters and the distinctive Punch Bowl in the east to the massive Obsidian Dome in the south. The terrain transitions from the heights of Reversed Peak and Mt Downs down into the Pumice Valley and Aeolian Buttes. For those studying local infrastructure, the map details numerous Gravel Pits and the precise location of June Lake Junction where the local loop connects to the broader highway system.
