In a valley between the Argus Range, left and the Slate Range, right, is the Searles Lake. The lake is partitioned into numerous sections where Evaporation ponds, seen along the bottom of the lakebed region leave evaporite minerals, white in color, in sectioned off lake fields. Actual water body is seen on the left side of the Searles Lake, below the labeled settlement of Trona. A road leads in to this region from the bottom left.
