About this map

Mono Craters and the volcanic terrain of the high Eastern Sierra dominate this mid-1980s topographic record. The landscape is defined by extensive pumice and sand deposits, including Big Sand Flat and Little Sand Flat, interspersed with the rising elevations of Indiana Summit and Bald Mountain. The small settlement of Crestview sits near the headwaters of the Owens River, a critical point where mountain drainage meets the northern reach of Long Valley.

Deep within the Inyo National Forest, the map captures a transition from dry craters and flats to the more varied relief of Alpers Canyon and Clark Canyon. Resource extraction is subtly noted through remnant Tailings near the volcanic peaks, while hydrology is marked by the presence of Big Springs and the meandering path of Deadman Creek. The network of 4wd tracks suggests a region utilized for forest management and backcountry exploration during this era.
