2021 Map of Nelson Range

About this map

The Nelson Range and the Inyo Mountains converge in this high-elevation desert landscape, where the western boundary of Death Valley National Park meets the White-Inyo Range. This area is defined by its industrial transit history and rugged topography, notably the Cerro Gordo Rd and White Mountain Talc Rd, which trace paths through the steep terrain to reach historical mining districts. To the south, the Conglomerate Mesa and Santa Rosa Hills overlook Lee Flat, illustrating the transition into the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. The map meticulously details the drainage systems of San Lucas Canyon and the complex relief of the eastern Inyo County highlands, providing a clear record of the access roads and land management boundaries used in this remote portion of California.
