2021 Map of Waucoba Spring

About this map

Waucoba Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid high-elevation landscape where the White- Inyo Range meets the Saline Range. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of high-desert basins and drainage systems, including Whippoorwill Flat and the expansive Jackass Flats. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes through Marble Canyon, Opal Canyon, and Waucoba Canyon. Administrative boundaries are clearly marked, showing the transition between Inyo National Forest and Death Valley National Park. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like Waucoba Road and forest routes such as 36e406 Tri, which navigate through North Pass. The map documents the persistent geography of these protected lands, where natural features like Whippoorwill Canyon dictate the movement of both modern travelers and those following ancient routes.
