1907 Map of Mt. Whitney

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Independence and Lone Pine anchor the Owens Valley in this survey of the High Sierra, where the desert floor meets the sheer eastern face of the Sierra Nevada. The map captures a landscape defined by the Southern Pacific System and its unique Narrow Gage line running through Owenyo. In the valley, historic sites like Old Camp Independence and Manzanar appear alongside a civilian Landing Field, reflecting the area's early 20th-century development. West of the valley, the terrain rises sharply into Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, centered on Mt Whitney and the Mt Whitney Trail. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage system of the eastern slope, where Lone Pine Creek and Independence Creek flow toward the valley, and identifies geological features such as the Earthquake Fault running along the mountain base.
