2012 Map of Uhlmeyer Spring

About this map

Toll House and Graham Ranch are prominent landmarks in this high-desert landscape of Inyo County, situated where the terrain begins its ascent into the mountains east of the Owens River. The network of water sources, including Uhlmeyer Spring, Wilkerson Springs, and Graham Spring, dictates the placement of early settlements and seasonal ranches in this arid environment. Roads like the storied Death Valley Rd and Waucoba Rd navigate the difficult geography, cutting through the shadows of Soldier Canyon and Crooked Road Canyon. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring importance of vital springs and managed ranches that have long supported travel and transit across the eastern California desert toward the valley floor.
