About this map

Inyo National Forest surrounds the growing community of Mammoth Lakes in this mid-1990s survey. The map details the developed core of the town, featuring civic essentials such as the Hospital, Post Office, and St Joseph Church, alongside recreation-focused sites like the Mammoth Visitor Center and Shady Rest campgrounds. To the south, the original settlement of Old Mammoth remains distinct, nestled near the banks of Mammoth Creek at the base of the mountains.

The topography transitions from the high peaks of the Sherwin Creek area to the volcanic terrain of Lookout Mountain and the broad expanse of Long Valley. Notable landmarks include the Earthquake Fault near highway 395 and the sprawling Smokey Bear Flat. Local water sources are carefully mapped, from the Big Spring and the Owens River in the north to numerous water wells and a series of levées that reflect the region's managed water resources.
