1958 Map of Bodie

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bodie and its surrounding mining districts appear here in the late 1950s, a period when the high-altitude landscape preserved the legacy of the late 19th-century gold rush. The map documents the extensive infrastructure required for remote extraction, from the Silver Hill Mine and Red Cloud Mine near the main townsite to the Dunderberg Mill and Mono Diggings further south. Ranching and water management are equally prominent, with Mormon Ranch, Conway Ranch, and Dechambeau Ranch established near essential water sources like Virginia Creek and Clearwater Creek. To the south, the northern shoreline of Mono Lake is charted, including Negit Island and Paoha Island. The intersection of industrial history and hydrology is evident in features like the Powerhouse near Lundy, the various ditches, and the Travertine Quarry, reflecting a decades-long effort to harness the resources of the Bodie Hills and Mono Valley.
