1911 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

Bridgeport serves as the central hub of this high-altitude landscape, where the East Walker River flows through the Huntoon Valley. At the turn of the century, the region was defined by a rugged mining economy, anchored by the famous settlement of Bodie and the active Masonic Liberty Mine to the north. Further south, the map details the early northern boundaries of Yosemite National Park, where landmarks like Twin Lakes and Matterhorn Pk sit among the high peaks of the Sierra. Transportation routes are marked by historic stops such as Conways Stage Station and Hardy Station, while the industrial footprint is visible at the Dunderberg Mine and the Stamp Mill near Lundy. The terrain is dotted with early 20th-century ranching outposts including Mormon Ranch and Dechambeaus Ranch, illustrating the transition from remote wilderness to a managed frontier of resource extraction and alpine grazing.
