1987 Map of Lee Wash
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Lee Flat and the Santa Rosa Hills define the high desert topography of this region during the 1980s. This survey records a landscape shaped by intermittent mineral exploration and remote ranching, centered on the historic Lee Mines and the Wilson Ranch (Site). The drainage patterns of Lee Wash and Santa Rosa Wash underscore the arid character of the Darwin Plateau, where water only occasionally flows through features like the Falls or down Mill Canyon. Several Prospects and an isolated Borrow Pit indicate the persistent human effort to extract value from the dry ground, offering local historians and researchers a record of resource-based activity in this portion of Inyo County before modern changes to land access.
