1958 Map of Lone Pine

About this map

The town of Lone Pine serves as the focal point of this 1958 survey, situated at the base of the eastern Sierra Nevada. The landscape is dominated by the transition from high-altitude peaks like Mt Whitney and Lone Pine Peak down into the arid Owens Valley. Historical infrastructure is well-documented, showing the Los Angeles Aqueduct paralleling the Owens River, alongside numerous irrigation features such as the Eclipse Ditch and MC Iver Ditch. The cultural footprint of the mid-20th century is evident in the presence of Manzanar, the site of a wartime relocation center, and Movie Flat within the Alabama Hills, a well-known filming location for Western cinema.
