1993 Map of Manzanar

About this map

Manzanar (Site) stands as the focal point of this Owens Valley survey, positioned between the high peaks of the Inyo National Forest and the floor of the valley. The map documents the layout of this significant location, including a Historical Mon and an adjacent Cem, while showing the vital water infrastructure of the Los Angeles Aqueduct running along the eastern edge. To the south, the Alabama Hills National Recreation Area and Hogback Creek characterize the transition into the desert landscape. High-altitude conservation zones are prominent in the west, including the John Muir Wilderness and the California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area. The area is bisected by numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Shepherd Creek and Bairs Creek, which descend from the mountains toward the aqueduct, illustrating the complex hydrology and land management of Inyo County.
