1987 Map of Indian Garden Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Fish Lake Valley straddles the high desert borderlands where the Esmeralda and Mono County line meets the state boundary between Nevada and California. This 1987 provisional survey documents a landscape defined by drainage systems and mineral exploration, featuring the Von Schmidt Line (1873) which traces the historic geopolitical boundary across the arid floor. Mining activity is evident in the northern reaches, particularly at the Good Hope Mine and Lookout Mine, along with numerous unnamed prospects. To the south, Indian Garden Creek provides a notable water source, while the eastern terrain is carved by the White Wolf Canyon and its corresponding White Wolf Wash. The map reflects a period of modern topographic revision based on mid-century aerial photography, preserving the locations of remote claims and the path of the original 19th-century state line survey.
