About this map

Owens Valley terrain dominates this 2015 survey, where the arid landscape is defined by its scarce water sources and dramatic elevation changes. The Owens River flows through the southwestern corner, near the settlement of Monola, while the rest of the quadrangle ascends into the White-Inyo Range. This transition from the valley floor to the higher reaches of the Inyo National Forest is marked by vital water points like Uhlmeyer Spring, Wilkerson Springs, and Batchelder Spring.

Transportation routes are dictated by the topography, with Westgard Pass and Death Valley Road providing passage through the high country. Deep erosional features such as Soldier Canyon and Crooked Road Canyon reveal the complex drainage patterns of the range. The map illustrates how human presence, represented by routes like Waucoba Rd and Steward Ln, remains tethered to these natural corridors and springs.
