Bridgeport Valley

The Bridgeport Valley is a large, fertile mountain basin between the eastern Sierra Nevada and the Bodie Hills of the U.S. state of California.

The East Walker River is the main stream flowing through the Bridgeport Valley; tributaries include Robinson and Swauger Creeks.

Although the surrounding terrain is predominantly steep and rugged, the floor of the valley is generally flat and lies at an elevation of some 6,460 feet (1,970 m).

Numerous peaks exceeding 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in height border the valley within a few miles on the west, south and east sides.

The channels of the alluvial fan branch out towards the north, northeast and east creating a highly fertile and well-watered grassy region.
