About this map

Mammoth Lakes serves as the focal point of this 1980s Eastern Sierra survey, showing a developing mountain community within the Inyo National Forest. The map documents the relationship between the newer resort area and the original settlement at Old Mammoth, while tracing essential infrastructure like the Fire Station, Hospital, and a Heliport. To the north, the landscape is defined by the volcanic prominence of Lookout Mountain and the water systems of Mammoth Creek and the Owens River.

Outdoor recreation and early ranching history are both represented, from the Arcularius Ranch in Long Valley to numerous forest camps such as Shady Rest Campground and White Wing Camp. Geothermal features like Hot Sprs and the drainage of Deadman Creek underscore the area's active geology. This provisional edition preserves the specific layout of the town before decades of expansion, noting local landmarks like St Joseph Church and various service facilities.
