2015 Map of Sulphur Pond

About this map

Mono Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Mono County survey, its vast shoreline framed by the alkaline desert of Mono Valley. The area is defined by its sparse water sources and historical transportation routes, including the prominent Pole Line Rd cutting across the northern reaches. Within the Inyo National Forest boundaries, a network of tracks like the N Shore Access and E Shore Road provide access to remote hydrologic features. Researchers will find interest in the mapping of Walford Springs and the eponymous Sulphur Pond, which reflect the geothermal and mineral-rich character of this high-desert basin. The presence of Warm Springs further illustrates the specific environmental profile of the Eastern Sierra region in the early 21st century.
