About this map

Markleeville serves as the focal point of this mountainous region in the eastern Sierra, situated near the confluence of Markleeville Creek and the East Fork Carson River. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation terrain within the Toiyabe National Forest, where peaks like Hawkins Peak and Thornburg Peak overlook a network of hydrologic features including Millberry Cr, Indian Cr, and Scott Cr.

Thermal activity is a defining characteristic of the local geography, centered around the Grover Hot Springs area and Hot Springs Valley. While Marklee Village provides a secondary residential cluster, much of the surrounding land is defined by drainage systems such as Pleasant Valley Cr and Raymond Canyon Cr. Infrastructure is concentrated along the river valley, where the Alpine County Airport and Airport Rd facilitate access to this high-country terrain.
