2015 Map of Volcano Peak

About this map

Volcano Peak rises as the central topographic landmark of this desert landscape, where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert meet the distinct drainage patterns of the Coso Basin. The map captures a largely uninhabited expanse defined by its geological and hydrological features rather than human settlement. In the southeastern corner, the broad, flat expanse of Airport Lake sits near the drainage of Coso Wash, illustrating the seasonal water patterns common to this arid region. Aside from the presence of Cinder Rd in the extreme northwest, the area remains an open terrain of deep washes and high ridges, providing an essential record of the natural contours and township boundaries within Inyo County during the mid-2010s.
