2015 Map of Tecopa Pass

About this map

Tecopa Pass serves as a central geographical landmark on the border between Inyo and San Bernardino counties, where the high desert terrain transitions between several prominent mountain groups. This corner of the Mojave Desert is defined by the steep rises of the Nopah Range and the Alexander Hills, framing the northern reaches of the California Valley. A network of unpaved desert tracks, including Mesquite Valley Rd and Furnace Creek Rd, traces the ancient drainage patterns of the landscape, providing access to isolated water sources such as Tule Spring. The map documents a rugged interior wilderness where modern county boundaries intersect with the natural topography of the Kingston Range and the seasonal flow of Sperry Wash.
