About this map

Whitmore Hot Sprs and the geothermal activity of Long Valley characterize this 1990 survey of eastern California. The landscape is defined by its hydrothermal features and water management, ranging from the thermal waters of Hot Creek to the State Fish Hatchery and numerous alkali flats. The Owens River winds through the eastern portion of the sheet, while the western edge transitions into the protected lands of the Inyo National Forest.

Human activity is concentrated around vital infrastructure like the Mammoth-June Lake Airport and the Benton Crossing over the river. Educational and community sites, such as the Mammoth Sch and the Mono County Youth Camp, appear alongside agricultural landmarks like Cashbaugh Ranch. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between the region’s unique geological profile and the recreational and civic developments established by the late twentieth century.
