      The Owens Valley is the approximately 120 km long valley of the Owens River in Mono and Inyo County in south-eastern California. It runs north-south between the Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the northeast and the Inyo Mountains to the southeast.

      In the south, the valley is bounded by Owens Lake, a now dry salt lake. To the north, the Owens River originates in the Long Valley Caldera, a volcanic crater system.

      Through the valley runs U.S. Highway 395, along which, from south to north, are Lone Pine, Independence (Inyo County's seat of government), Big Pine, and Bishop, the largest town in the valley.

        At the time of the gold rush, there was still a huge lake in this valley: Owens Lake. Ore from the nearby mining town of Cerro Gordo was transported to Keeler via this lake.



        However, when the water from the lake was diverted into the Los Angeles Aquaduct, the lake dried up completely. Gradually, however, the valley is being irrigated again, as the complete draining caused too much dust in the area.
