1907 Map of Mt. Whitney

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

The Owens Valley corridor and the towering Sierra Nevada crest dominate this 1905 survey, capturing the region before large-scale water diversion projects transformed the landscape. The county seat of Independence serves as the primary hub along the Southern Pacific System, while the smaller settlement of Lone Pine sits at the base of the mountains near the Mojave-Owenyo Br. This era represents a period of significant geological and transit interest, clearly marking the Earthquake Fault running through the valley floor and the historic site of Old Camp Independence north of the main town. To the west, the map details the high-altitude wilderness, documenting the numerous lakes and peaks of the Sierra National Forest and the upper reaches of the South Fork Kings River. Mining activity is represented by the Bluebell Mine, positioned in the Inyo Mountains to the east.
