2012 Map of Waucoba Mountain

About this map

Waucoba Mountain dominates this portion of the Inyo Mountains, where high-altitude desert terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and expansive flats. The landscape is interconnected by a network of specialized routes, including Waucoba Road and Hines Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Andrews Mountain and the central drainage at The Narrows. This region exhibits a classic Great Basin topographic signature, where level areas like Papoose Flat and Squaw Flat provide rare stretches of open ground amidst the peaks. Water is a critical and infrequent resource here, marked by the presence of Squaw Springs near the northern base of Squaw Peak. These named landmarks and seasonal tracks illustrate the early twenty-first-century infrastructure used to access this demanding California backcountry.
