1951 Map of Haiwee Reservoir

About this map

The Los Angeles City Aqueduct and the waters of Haiwee Reservoir dominate this eastern Inyo County landscape during the early 1950s. This survey records the critical infrastructure of the era, from the Haiwee Powerhouse to the Southern Pacific rail line that runs along the western edge of the valley. Small settlements and specialized waypoints like Dunmovin, Coso Junction, and Tunawee Ranch dot the corridor between the water and the rising terrain of the Inyo National Forest.
