1958 Map of Lone Pine
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada drops sharply into Owens Valley on this mid-century survey, centered on the settlement of Lone Pine. The landscape is dominated by the massive peaks of the Inyo National Forest, including Mt Whitney, Mount Langley, and Mount Corcoran. To the west, the Whitney Portal Trail marks the gateway to the high peaks, while the Alabama Hills and the iconic Movie Flat sit just below the timberline. The valley floor reveals a complex water and transit network, including the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Southern Pacific railroad line connecting Owenyo and Lone Pine Station. In the north, the site of Manzanar and its associated Manzanar Airport sit along the banks of the Owens River, providing a clear look at the valley's infrastructure before significant later development.
