About this map

Negit Island and Paoha Island rise from the northern waters of Mono Lake, anchoring this survey of a unique California landscape where volcanic terrain meets high-desert hydrology. The shoreline is marked by the geothermal activity of a Hot Spring and the distinctive landform of Black Point, which overlooks a network of local thoroughfares including Cemetery Rd and the Dechambeau R Pipeline.

Settlement patterns in this part of Mono County are defined by isolated outposts like Dechambeau Ranch and Goat Ranch, connected by rugged tracks such as the Goat Ranch Cutoff and Waford Springs Cutoff. Industrial activity is evidenced by the No Mono Gravel Pit, while the presence of Coyote Spring and Waford Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in the arid drainage of Bridgeport Canyon and Rancheria Gulch.
