About this map

Dog Town (Site) marks a historical location in the high desert of Mono County, situated near the headwaters of Virginia Creek. This 1989 provisional survey captures a landscape defined by its thermal activity and mineral extraction, with numerous Prospect sites and geothermal features like the Travertine Quarry Hot Springs and The Hot Springs punctuating the terrain. The presence of Travertine Quarry and a Strip Mine near Cinnabar Canyon underscores the area's geological and industrial utility during the late twentieth century.
