1962 Map of Mt. Barcroft

About this map

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Area protects some of the oldest living organisms on Earth along the high ridges of the White Mountains, where the Patriarch Tree stands as a notable landmark. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals the stark transition from these high-altitude scientific outposts, including the White Mtn Research Sta Barcroft Laboratory, down into the agricultural landscape of Fish Lake Valley. The valley floor is marked by a network of ranches such as Circle L Ranch and McAfee Ranch, supported by an aqueduct and numerous wells.
