About this map

The White Mountains define this high-altitude landscape, culminating at the prominent White Mtn Peak. Managed by the Inyo National Forest, the terrain is marked by extreme elevation changes and a series of deep drainages including Cottonwood Canyon and Middle Canyon. The hydrology of the area is characterized by seasonal or perennial flow from sources such as Pellisier Cr and Lone Tree Cr, which cut through the steep slopes of the White Inyo Range.

Human access to this demanding environment is recorded through a network of specialized routes like the Indian Creek Stock Trl and the high-elevation White Mtn Road. Named peaks such as Mt Hogue, Indian Peak, and Headley Peak serve as significant landmarks for backcountry navigation. The presence of Jeffrey Mine Canyon suggests a history of mineral exploration in these remote heights, while Chiatovich Flats offers a rare expanse of level ground amidst the peaks.
