About this map

Owens River valley settlements and high-altitude mining operations define this pre-World War I survey of the Eastern Sierra. The agricultural and transport hub of Bishop serves as the central focal point, surrounded by a dense network of early rural education sites like Riverside School, Sunland School, and Fish Springs School. The industrial infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the Southern Pacific (Keeler Branch) railroad, which tracks along the valley floor to support local commerce and extractive industries such as the Poleta Mine and Southern Belle Mine.
