The eastern shore of Owens Lake and the steep rise of the Inyo Mountains dominate this landscape, illustrating the industrial and natural history of Inyo County. The tiny settlements of Dolomite and Swansea sit along the margin of the basin, connected by an Old R.R. Grade and a Tramway that suggest the area's history of mineral extraction and transport. Local industrial heritage is specifically marked at the Owens Lake Silver-Lead Furnace Historical Marker, reflecting the 19th-century boom when silver-lead bullion was shipped across the lake.
