2018 Map of Revenue Canyon

About this map

The Argus Range dominates this landscape, rising steeply between the Mojave Desert to the west and the arid expanse of the Panamint Valley to the east. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by high peaks like Lookout Mtn and deep drainage systems, including Revenue Canyon and Thompson Canyon. Isolated water sources such as Jack Gunn Spring, French Madam Spring, and Argus Spring indicate the critical locations where life-sustaining water reaches the surface in this parched environment. The presence of the historic Nadeau Rd and Minietta Rd suggests old routes once used by miners and teamsters to move ore and supplies through these mountains. This map serves as a vital record for understanding the topographical complexity and sparse infrastructure of this portion of Inyo County.
