About this map

Mazourka Peak rises as the dominant landmark of this high-altitude landscape in Inyo County, anchoring a terrain defined by steep canyons and arid washes. The 2012 survey illustrates a sparse network of forest roads and unimproved trails, including the prominent Mazourka Canyon Rd, which provides access to the high plateaus of Santa Rita Flat and Badger Flat. The area's hydrology is marked by seasonal drainages such as Waucoba Wash and isolated water sources like Barrel Springs and Johnson Spring.

Evidence of historical naming remains visible through topographic features like Pops Gulch, Al Rose Canyon, and Sunday Canyon. These labels suggest a legacy of individual prospectors or early inhabitants who worked this portion of the Inyo Mountains. The intricate contour lines detail the transition from deep gulches, including Water Bonanza Canyon Gulch, to the high peaks and flats, offering a precise view of the region's physical geography in the early 21st century.
