1907 Map of Olancha

About this map

Owens Lake dominates the eastern edge of this territory, where the Southern Pacific System rail line and an Aqueduct trace the foot of the mountains near Olancha and Cartago. The landscape transitions from the arid valley floor to the high-elevation wilderness of Sequoia National Park and Inyo National Forest. High-country landmarks such as Chagoopa Falls Ranger Station and Kern Canyon Ranger Station underscore the early administrative management of these remote lands.
