Mountain Springs Canyon cuts through the steep eastern slopes of the Argus Range, marking a dramatic transition within the northwestern corner of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation landforms, including the prominent plateau of Wild Horse Mesa to the north and the sweeping basin of Etcharren Valley in the northeast. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water sources and rugged transit routes, most notably the namesake Mountain Spring and the service corridor of G2 Tower Rd. The presence of Wilson Canyon in the southern reaches further illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of this arid region. The map provides an essential record of modern topographic elevations and land management boundaries within Inyo County.
