About this map

Mono Lake anchors the northern basin of this High Sierra landscape, where the early 20th-century economy is defined by isolated ranching outposts and mineral exploration. A network of family-named holdings like Adobe Ranch, Kuhlee Ranch, and Dutch Petes Ranch dots the valleys between the Benton Range and the towering peaks of the Mono National Forest. The map captures the transition from industrial extraction at Mono Mills to the early development of recreational and hydrothermal sites, including the Casa Diablo Mine and the nearby Casa Diablo Hot Springs. The central Owens River flows toward Benton Crossing, serving as a vital corridor through the high desert terrain. Significant landmarks for local history include the Little Antelope Ranger Sta and seasonal gathering spots like Toms Place and McGee Creek Resort, reflecting the region's burgeoning role as a destination for travelers and stockmen alike.
