1987 Map of Nelson Range

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nelson Range dominates this 1980s topographic study, where the high desert terrain of Inyo County meets the eastern edges of the Inyo Mountains. This arid landscape is defined by its deep drainages and isolated resource extraction points, including several unnamed prospects and a Borrow Pit near the northern boundary. The presence of ruins in the southwestern corner, situated near the head of San Lucas Canyon, provides a rare indication of former human habitation or seasonal activity in this demanding environment.
