1982 Map of Manzanar

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Manzanar (Site) stands as a poignant landmark on this Inyo County landscape, situated between the high peaks of the Inyo National Forest and the stark Owens Valley floor. This 1982 survey details the footprint of the former relocation center, including a Historical Mon, a Cem, and the nearby Manzanar Airport. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the Los Angeles Aqueduct, a critical piece of water infrastructure that transformed the region's hydrology. To the west, the protected California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area and John Muir Wilderness highlight the preservation of the high-altitude environment. In the south, the iconic Alabama Hills Recreation Area is mapped with access provided by the aptly named Movie Road, reflecting the area's long history as a backdrop for the film industry. Numerous creeks, such as Shepherd Creek and George Creek, flow from the mountains toward the valley, punctuated by small-scale resource extraction at a Mine and Prospect.
