1987 Map of Bartlett

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Owens Lake and its industrial shoreline dominate this late 1980s landscape, where mineral extraction and water management intersect at the edge of the Inyo National Forest. The settlement of Bartlett serves as a focal point for the regional infrastructure, situated near extensive Soda Evaporators and an Old Railroad Grade that traces the valley floor. The map documents a complex network of resource utility, from the Los Angeles Aqueduquct and Cottonwood Power Plant to the scattered Kilns and Borrow Pits that suggest a history of active local industry. High-elevation landmarks like Wonoga Peak and Muah Mountain rise sharply to the west, marking the transition into the Golden Trout Wilderness. This survey captures a moment when the Owens Valley ecosystem was defined by both its extreme topography and its intensive human modifications for water and mineral recovery.
