1949 Map of Mt. Tom

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Tungsten extraction dominates the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada in this late 1940s survey. The concentration of industrial activity is centered around the Pine Creek Tungsten Mill and the nearby Scheelite settlement, supporting numerous operations like the Adamson Mine, Brownstone Mine, and the Tungstar Mine. This industrial footprint contrasts sharply with the high-altitude wilderness of the Inyo National Forest, where a network of glacial lakes including Pine Lake, Horton Lake, and Rock Creek Lake dot the granite basins.
