OverviewExcerpt from Late Cenozoic Geology of McGee Mountain Mono County, California Only the extreme southwestern part of this elongate trough at the base of the Sierra Nevada is within the area mapped. The trough itself is about 15 miles long, and averages about 5 miles wide. It is almost mountain-encircled, with the Sierra Nevada forming the southern wall and the Glass Mountain Range the northern. On the east, the Long Valley basin is partly closed by the Benton Range, and on the southeast the valley is walled off by a low plateau of rhyolitic pumice and welded tuff which is incised by the two deep gorges cut by Rock Creek and the Owens River. The latter serves as the outlet of Long Valley, and it appears to have achieved this dominant role through headward growth and capture (putnam, 1960a).
