About this map

Lone Pine serves as the gateway to the high Eastern Sierra, where the jagged eastern face of the Sierra Nevada meets the high desert floor. The town's grid is dominated by S Main St and Whitney Portal Rd, which leads toward the highest peaks. To the west, the geologically distinct Alabama Hills and the iconic Movie Flat landscape show the complex terrain that has long served as a backdrop for the film industry. Genealogists will find three distinct burial sites: Mount Whitney Cem, the Old Lone Pine Cem, and Pioneer Cem situated near the town center.

Water management and infrastructure define the valley floor, evidenced by the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the path of the Owens River. The eastern side of the quadrangle shows the northern reaches of Owens Lake and the Lone Pine Narrow Gauge Rd, reflecting the region's historical transportation and resource extraction history. Significant local landmarks include Diaz Lake and the Lone Pine/Death Valley Airport, providing a detailed look at this Owens Valley hub.
