1962 Map of Glass Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Benton Hot Springs anchors the southeastern edge of this high-altitude basin, where the Benton Valley meets the slopes of Blind Spring Hill. The 1962 landscape is defined by its transition from the volcanic peaks of Glass Mountain and Granite Mtn down into the broad expanse of the Adobe Valley. Water is the critical factor in this arid environment, evidenced by the scattered network of named springs and meadows like River Spring Lakes, Indian Meadows, and Keity Meadows that supported early ranching outposts including Adobe Ranch and Dutch Petes Ranch. Industrial activity is marked by various extractive sites, ranging from a Silicon Quarry and several Pumice Quarries to the Cowan Mine, while the former townsite of Pizona reflects the transient nature of mountain settlements in the Inyo National Forest.
