About this map

The White-Inyo Range dominates this landscape, where high-altitude flats and prominent peaks define the terrain of the Inyo National Forest. High points such as Waucoba Mtn and Wünüpü Peak overlook a complex network of plateaus and canyons, including the expansive Harkless Flat and the more sequestered Papoose Flat. This environment is shaped by deep geological transitions, visible in features like Marble Canyon and the corridor known as The Narrows.

Transportation through this high-desert wilderness is limited to established routes like Death Valley Road and Waucoba Road, which navigate the steep gradients between the mountains and lower basins. The inclusion of the Inyo Mountains Wilderness and portions of the Death Valley National Park highlights the protected status of these summits, including Andrews Mtn, and the vast Sawabü Flat that lies between the ranges.
