About this map

White Mountain Peak dominates the southeast corner of this high-altitude landscape in the White-Inyo Range of Mono County. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Cottonwood Canyon and Middle Canyon, which carry seasonal runoff toward the valley floor below. Several prominent summits mark the ridgelines, notably Mount Hogue, Indian Peak, and Headley Peak.

Human presence is sparse in this demanding environment, concentrated at the Devernois Ranch and Hill Ranch located near the western boundary. These sites suggest the long-standing use of the area's limited water sources, such as Willow Cr and Lone Tree Cr, for livestock or mountain ranching. To the northeast, the relatively level expanse of Chiatovich Flats provides a rare break in the verticality of the terrain, situated between Birch Cr and Cabin Cr.
