1994 Map of Mt. Langley

About this map

Lone Pine sits at the gateway to the high Sierra, where the arid floor of the Owens Valley meets the dramatic rise of the eastern scarp. This 1994 revision, based on photography from the late 1970s and early 1990s, documents a landscape defined by the intersection of commercial film history and protected wilderness. To the west, the boundary of Sequoia National Park and the John Muir Wilderness protects massive granite peaks like Mount Langley and Mount Carcoran. In the transition zone, the Alabama Hills and Alabama Hills Recreation Area are crisscrossed by tracks like Movie Road, reflecting the region's long-standing use as a cinematic backdrop. High-altitude glacial features, including Meysan Lake and Cottonwood Lakes, drain eastward through canyons carved by Tuttle Creek and Lone Pine Creek toward the valley floor.
