1982 Map of Bee Springs Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mining operations and rugged desert drainage systems define this section of the Inyo Mountains during the early 1980s. The landscape is marked by numerous historical extraction sites, ranging from the Old Whiteside Diggings and Copper Queen Mine in the north to the Reward Mine at the southern edge. The distribution of these mines along the western slopes of the range suggests a specific geological corridor sought by prospectors, accessed by the winding Mazourka Canyon Road. Within the Inyo National Forest, several springs provide rare water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including Bee Spring and Coyote Spring. The inclusion of the Winnedumah Paiute Monument on the high ridges highlights a significant cultural and geographic landmark overlooking the steep descents of Willow Springs Gulch and Vaughn Gulch. Water infrastructure is represented by the Mc Iver Canal, tracing the lower elevations where the mountains meet the valley floor.
