2021 Map of Waucoba Mountain

About this map

Inyo National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada transition into the arid peaks of the White-Inyo Range. This survey documents a wilderness of high basins and limestone canyons, most notably Marble Canyon and the geological pinch point known as The Narrows. Large alluvial features like Papoose Flat and Squaw Flat provide the few level stretches between significant summits such as Andrews Mtn and Waucoba Mtn. The map traces the rugged path of Death Valley Road as it skirts the northern boundary of Death Valley National Park, offering a window into the remote backcountry of Inyo County. A network of specialized Forest Service tracks, including the Squaw Flat Trl, reveals the infrastructure used to manage this high-desert environment in the modern era.
