About this map

The Bodie Hills dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of California and Nevada, where the Toiyabe National Forest extends across the eastern ridges of the Bodie Mountains. This 2021 survey traces a network of historic access routes and trails that have served the region's mining and ranching interests for generations. Major arteries like Bodie Rd and Dobie Meadows Rd wind through the upland basins, while the Stateline Trl follows the rugged terrain near the state boundary.

Hydrological features are sparse but significant in this arid environment, centered on Kirkwood Spring and the drainage of Bodie Cr. To the south, Pole Line Rd marks a clear industrial corridor across the flats, contrasting with the steep descents into Trench Canyon. The map clearly delineates the jurisdictional transition between Mineral Co and Mono Co, capturing the modern footprint of a landscape defined by its high-altitude peaks like Braly Peaks.
