2012 Map of Nopah Peak

About this map

Nopah Peak stands as the primary landmark in this arid portion of Inyo County, marking a high point within the broader Nopah Range. The landscape is defined by the stark topography of the Mojave Desert, where intricate drainage patterns and dry washes flow across the basin floor. This 2012 survey documents a largely undeveloped wilderness near the California-Nevada border, where the terrain remains primarily shaped by natural geomorphic processes rather than human settlement. The map provides a precise look at the alluvial fans and complex contouring of the range, offering a clear record of the physical geography of the Great Basin before any further environmental or infrastructural changes occurred in the early 21st century.
