2012 Map of The Dunes

USGS Topo · Published 2012

About this map

Panamint Valley defines this arid landscape in Inyo County, where the topography is shaped by significant drainage systems and distinct geological formations. To the north, the shifting sands of The Dunes stand as a central landmark, while the southern reaches are marked by the presence of Lake Hill and the winding path of Lee Wash. This 2012 survey illustrates a terrain of dramatic elevation changes, captured through the deep cuts of Mill Canyon and the notable descent of Rainbow Canyon. The mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region defined more by its natural hydrography and canyon systems than by human infrastructure, offering a clear view of the basin and range geology characteristic of this portion of California.
