About this map

The Alabama Hills dominate the western landscape of this Owens Valley study, where the town of Lone Pine serves as a gateway to the high Sierra. The complex water management history of the region is etched into the terrain by the Los Angeles Aqueduct, which parallels the Owens River to the east. Local history is deeply rooted in the town's perimeter, evidenced by three distinct burial sites: Old Lone Pine Cem, Pioneer Cem, and Mount Whitney Cem.

Cultural and cinematic history intersect at Movie Flat and Movie Rd, areas long utilized by the film industry for their distinctive geological formations. Transportation patterns include the Lone Pine Airport and the historical footprint of the Lone Pine Narrow Gauge Rd, which reflects the area's rail heritage. Recreational landmarks such as the Mount Whitney Golf Course and Diaz Lake cluster along the valley floor, while numerous creeks like Lone Pine Cr and Tuttle Cr flow from the western peaks toward the valley's drainage system.
