About this map

Davis Mountain dominates the high-altitude landscape of the eastern Sierra region in the late 1980s, straddling the rugged border between Nevada and California. The map records the transition from the forested heights of the Inyo National Forest down into the arid expanse of Fish Lake Valley. Numerous drainages carve through the terrain, including Chiatovich Creek, which features a Gaging Station and evidence of previous activity noted as Ruins.

Resource extraction is evidenced by the Red Rock Mine and Mollini Mine, while isolated locations like Post Meadow and Wildhorse Flat suggest sites of interest for those tracking historical land use. The presence of the Nevada California state line and the Esmeralda and Mono County boundaries highlights the administrative complexity of this high-desert environment during a period of limited revision and field checking.
