About this map

Tungsten Hills and the high peaks of the eastern Sierra define this late-1940s landscape, revealing a region dominated by strategic mineral extraction. The industrial footprint is centered on Pine Creek Mine and the associated Pine Creek Tungsten Mill, supporting company-related settlements like Rovana and Scheelite. This era captures the height of tungsten mining in the Owens Valley region, with numerous workings including the Lambert Mine, Tungstar Mine, and the Little Sister Mine tucked into the steep canyons.
