1951 Map of Keeler
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The shoreline of Owens Lake and the industrial activity of the Eastern Sierra dominate this early 1950s survey. The town of Keeler sits as a vital rail terminus for the Southern Pacific, supporting a local economy built on mineral extraction. Large Soda Evaporators and the Soda Products Plant edge the lakebed, while a Tramway reaches into the heights of the Inyo Mountains. The landscape reflects a transition from high-desert peaks to the valley floor, where the L A Aqueduct and numerous Pipe Lines trace the movement of water across Owens Valley. To the south, specialized features like the Sierra Talc Mine and the curiosly named Dirty Socks (Hot Spring) indicate a rugged environment of diverse geological and geothermal interest, from the Sand Dunes to the isolated Adamson Landing Field.
