About this map

Negit Island and the stark northern shoreline of Mono Lake dominate this high-desert landscape in the eastern Sierra. The map details a complex network of historic land use, from the Dechambeau Ranch Q-005 to the thermal features at Dechambeau Hot Springs. Infrastructure through the Mono Valley reflects a reliance on local resources and transport, including the Dechambeau R. Pipeline and thoroughfares like Pole Line Rd and Waford Springs Cutoff.

Elevated terrain features like Black Point and Black Point Hill overlook the basin, while the north is defined by Bridgeport Canyon. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, noted by Coyote Spring and Waford Spring. The presence of the Inyo National Forest and landmarks like the Old Mono Gravel Pit provide clear evidence of the region's managed wilderness and industrial history.
