Millspaugh sits at a high elevation within the Argus Range, serving as a focal point for this portion of Inyo County. The terrain is defined by extreme relief, dominated by the massif of Maturango Peak and nearby Parkinson Peak. The landscape is etched with complex drainage systems including Knight Canyon, Bendire Canyon, and Shepherd Canyon, which carve through the high desert geology. To the west, the relatively level ground of Etcharren Valley and the basin of Carricut Lake offer a stark contrast to the surrounding ridges. This 2012 survey illustrates the isolated nature of these desert settlements and the enduring trails and local roads that navigate the difficult geography between the peaks and the valley floors.
