About this map

Crowley Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Eastern Sierra landscape, where the waters of the Long Valley are held back by the Long Valley Dam. The terrain is defined by sharp transitions from the canyon floor to the heights of the John Muir Wilderness and the Wheeler Crest. The small settlement at Toms Place serves as a gateway to the high country, positioned near the confluence where Rock Creek flows toward the Owens River Gorge.

Infrastructure for the Los Angeles Aqueduct system is visible, including a Radio Tower and Spillway near South Landing. To the south and east, residential pockets like Swall Meadow and Sky Meadow Ranch sit tucked beneath the towering peaks. The abundance of sites like Iris Meadow Campground and Tuff Campground highlights the area's role as a recreation hub within the Inyo National Forest during the late twentieth century.
