2018 Map of Lee Vining

About this map

Mono Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Mono County survey, surrounding the distinct landform of Paoha Island. To the south, the terrain transitions into a dramatic volcanic field characterized by the Mono Craters and Crater Mountain, with Panum Crater and the Panum Crater Pit situated just south of Navy Beach. The settlement of Lee Vining sits at the base of the Sierra Nevada range, where Tioga Pass Rd begins its ascent into Lee Vining Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of forest access and utility routes within the Inyo National Forest, including the Farrington Siphon and various connectors through Pumice Valley. These features illustrate the intersection of unique geological formations and the infrastructure required to manage the high-desert environment and local water resources.
