2012 Map of Tin Mountain

About this map

Tin Mountain dominates the southern reaches of this Inyo County terrain, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by drainage patterns and arid geological features. The Death Valley Wash cuts through the northeast, joined by the seasonal flow of Little Grapevine Cr as water moves through the desert environment toward lower elevations. Transportation is limited to the single thoroughfare of Racetrack Valley Rd along the western edge, a route that serves as the primary access through this remote section of the California desert. The appearance of Bighorn Gorge in the southeast corner indicates the complex vertical relief that characterizes the eastern slopes of the mountain range.
