About this map

Mono Lake and its distinctive volcanic features dominate this mid-1990s landscape within the Mono Basin. The map highlights the significant landforms of Negit Island and Paoha Island rising from the water, alongside the dark, rounded volcanic cinder cone of Black Point on the northern shore. This environment is defined by its transition from the high desert floor to the steep drainages of Bridgeport Canyon and Rancheria Gulch.

Resource extraction and water management are evident across the terrain. Multiple mining operations, including a Mine Shaft, an Open Pit Mine, and several scattered prospects, suggest a history of geologic exploration in the hills. The presence of an Aqueduct near the lake shore illustrates the critical role of water infrastructure in this arid region, while numerous water sources like Coyote Spring and Waford Spring mark essential landmarks for travelers and surveyors alike.
