1951 Map of Blanco Mountain

About this map

The Inyo Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of this 1951 survey, where the rugged peaks of Blanco Mtn and Red Peak rise above the high desert terrain. This era represents a period of diverse activity within the Inyo National Forest, from the high-altitude Naval Research Station near Campito Mtn to the isolated cattle operations at Roberts Ranch. The geography is shaped by the transition from the steep canyons of the range into the arid expanse of Deep Spring Valley, home to the seasonal Deep Spring Lake.
