About this map

Toms Place sits at the nexus of the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills, where the waters of Rock Cr meet the expansive topography of Little Round Valley. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by the dramatic descent of the Owens River through the Owens River Gorge, alongside high-altitude settlements like Crowley Lake and Sunny Slopes. The map reveals the intricate infrastructure required for transit and water management in this high-desert environment, including Tunnel Number One and the network of roads branching from Crowley Lake Dr.

South of the canyon, the terrain rises sharply toward Wheeler Ridge and Sherwin Summit, encompassing a significant portion of the Inyo National Forest. Residential pockets such as Swall Meadows and Aspen Springs are situated amidst a complex drainage system of creeks, including Birch Cr and Witcher Creek. The proximity of Lake Crowley to these mountain communities highlights the region's character as a hub for both utility and alpine settlement.
