2015 Map of Soldier Pass

About this map

Deep Springs and the northern reaches of the White- Inyo Range define this high-altitude landscape in eastern California. The area serves as a significant drainage divide, where Wyman Cr cuts through the terrain near the transition between Deep Springs Valley and the expansive Owens Valley and Eureka Valley. The map documents the primitive transportation corridors through the mountains, notably following the namesake Soldier Pass and the rugged descent of Soldier Pass Canyon. Toward the southeast, the boundary of Death Valley National Park marks a shift into federally protected desert wilderness. Peaks like Mt Nurin provide vertical relief in a region where the arid basins are linked by remote tracks such as Big Pine Rd, illustrating the isolation and geographic complexity of the Inyo County interior.
