2015 Map of Talc City Hills

About this map

The high desert terrain of Inyo County, California, is represented in this modern topographic study, showing the arid landscape that defines the eastern edge of the state. The primary drainage through this desolate corridor is Lucky Jim Wash, which cuts across the northeastern portion of the sheet. This map documents a region characterized by sparse water resources and dramatic elevation changes, serving as a critical reference for understanding the hydrological patterns of the Mojave Desert environment. The absence of major settlements reflects the isolated nature of the basin-and-range topography, where natural features like dry washes and seasonal watercourses are the most significant landmarks for navigation and land management.
