2012 Map of Nova Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Panamint Valley dominates this 2012 topographic study of Inyo County, revealing a stark desert landscape defined by immense alluvial fans and deep drainage cuts. To the north, Dolomite Canyon carves into the mountain slopes, while the eponymous Nova Canyon provides a significant geographic marker in the central-east portion of the quadrangle. The few human imprints upon this arid terrain are concentrated along the transport corridors of State Route 190 and Panamint Valley Rd, which traverse the lower elevations. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the basin, showing the intricate network of dry washes that expand as they descend from the canyons toward the valley floor, a classic representation of Great Basin desert morphology.
