1951 Map of Blanco Mountain

About this map

Inyo National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where deep canyons and peaks like Blanco Mtn and Bucks Peak define the terrain. The map captures a moment when resource extraction and remote research shared the mountainside, evidenced by the Naval Research Station near Campito Mtn and a string of active and named mining operations. High-elevation meadows such as Big Prospector Meadow and Dead Horse Meadow suggest the area's history as seasonal grazing land.
