About this map

Aberdeen sits at the base of the Eastern Sierra, where the high desert floor meets a landscape shaped by both water and fire. In the mid-1980s, this area of the Owens Valley is defined by a network of creeks—Taboose Creek, Goodale Creek, Division Creek, and Sawmill Creek—descending from the high granite peaks of the John Muir Wilderness and Kings Canyon National Park. The land reflects a complex management history, with the Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area protecting wildlife on the slopes of the Hogback. Infrastructure for water and power is evident at the Division Creek Powerhouse and multiple Gaging Stations, supporting the valley's utility needs. Hikers and stock users would have recognized vital landmarks like Sawmill Pass and Sawmill Point, while the presence of the Tinemaha Road and several campgrounds indicates the region's importance for recreation and mountain access during this era.
