1987 Map of Crooked Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Inyo National Forest and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest define this high-altitude landscape in eastern California. The terrain is marked by sharp elevation changes, from peaks like Sage Hen Peak and Iron Mountain to the depths of Royal Gorge. This 1980s survey captures the area's history of extraction and subsistence, documenting the Wilkerson Mine and Southbend Mine alongside numerous prospects scattered across the ridges. Evidence of early land use is found at Roberts Ranch, situated near the headwaters of Wyman Creek. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Crooked Creek and Cottonwood Creek carving through the mountains, while features like Dead Horse Meadow suggest the importance of seasonal grazing or natural clearings in an otherwise formidable environment. The map also delineates the boundary between Mono and Inyo counties, illustrating how political lines were drawn across this complex topography.
