1986 Map of Indian Meadows

About this map

Indian Meadows and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Inyo National Forest define this 1980s landscape in Mono County. The map details a transition from the steep eastern slopes of Granite Mountain down into the expansive Adobe Valley. Water management and natural hydrology are central to the area, evidenced by the presence of Adobe Lake and the Adobe Reservoir, which are fed by Adobe Creek and Dexter Creek. The grid-like survey lines cross various landforms including the Adobe Hills and the deep incision of Base Canyon. A lone Corral stands as a rare sign of human utility in this largely undeveloped area, while the convergence of township and range lines highlights the importance of boundary surveying in this part of the Eastern Sierra region.
