1983 Map of Old Mammoth

About this map

The community of Old Mammoth and the developing resort hub of Mammoth Lakes anchor this survey of the eastern Sierra Nevada slopes and high desert transition. During the early 1980s, the area reflects a mix of traditional ranching and modern recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Arcularius Ranch in Long Valley alongside numerous forest service sites like Shady Rest Campground and Sherwin Creek Campground. The landscape is shaped by the volcanic and geothermal activity of the region, specifically noted at Casa Diablo Hot Sprs. In the north, the terrain transitions through Smokey Bear Flat toward Lookout Mountain, while local landmarks like St Joseph Church and the Mammoth Visitor Center provide specific touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of this mountain settlement.
