About this map

Tungsten Hills anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where mining operations like the Western Mine, Round Valley Mine, and Little Shot Mine underscore the area's industrial history. The settlement of Rovana is situated near the confluence of Pine Creek and Mill Creek, while the broader Round Valley is dotted with landmarks such as the Round Valley School and the community of Alta Vista.

Water management and infrastructure dominate the eastern corridor, shaped by the Owens River Gorge Reservoir and the Pleasant Valley Reservoir. Significant engineering works including a Powerhouse, Surge Tank, and multiple Gaging Stations are clustered near Birchim Canyon. To the north, Paradise Camp sits along Rock Creek below Sherwin Hill, marking a distinct transition between the valley floor and the rising Volcanic Tableland.
