2021 Map of Volcano Peak

About this map

Volcano Peak rises as a prominent landmark within this arid Inyo County landscape, situated at the convergence of several distinct desert basins. The map illustrates the topographic transition between Rose Valley to the northwest and the Coso Basin to the east, where the seasonal drainage of Coso Wash carves through the terrain. To the south, the survey captures the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert and the Indian Wells Valley, providing a detailed look at the public land survey system divisions across these varied elevations. The scarcity of established infrastructure is notable, with Cinder Rd providing one of the few named access points into this high-desert environment, allowing researchers to trace the natural boundaries of the White Hills and surrounding geologic features as they were documented in 2021.
