About this map

The town of Independence serves as a central hub in the Owens Valley during the early twentieth century, situated between the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Inyo Mountains. This survey documents a critical period for the region's infrastructure, showing the Southern Pacific System and the Narrow Gage System railroads threading through the valley floor. Near the mountains' base, Old Camp Independence and the settlement of Manzanar are visible, alongside the Tyndall Ranger Station deep in the high country.
