2015 Map of White Mountain Peak

About this map

White Mountain Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of the White-Inyo Range, marking one of the most prominent summits in the Eastern Sierra region. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the stark, high-desert alpine environment within the Inyo National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Pellisier Cr and Birch Cr flowing from the high ridges down into deep cuts like Middle Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. At higher elevations, the terrain levels out into unique geographic features such as Chiatovich Flats, while sharp summits like Mt Hogue and Indian Peak provide reference points for hikers and researchers. The southern portion of the sheet shows the descent into Jeffrey Mine Canyon, illustrating the transition from the peaks toward the valley floors of Mono County.
