2015 Map of Mount Barcroft

About this map

The high-elevation peaks of the White-Inyo Range dominate this 2015 survey, where the physical geography of the Inyo National Forest is defined by a series of prominent summits including Mount Barcroft, Piute Mtn, and Sheep Mtn. The landscape is characterized by a high-altitude network of meadows and basins that collect the headwaters of numerous radiating streams. Significant drainages such as McAfee Cr and its various forks, along with Cottonwood Cr and Tres Plumas Cr, carve deep paths through the terrain. Evidence of high-country accessibility and environmental significance is found at Patriarch Grove, while large open areas like McAfee Meadow and Cottonwood Basin suggest the expansive natural catchment areas found at these elevations near the Mono and Inyo county line.
