1994 Map of Sulphur Pond

About this map

The Mono Lake shoreline and the high desert of the Mono Basin define this 1994 revision. The landscape is characterized by its hydrologic features, including the eponymous Sulphur Pond, Walford Spring, and Warm Springs found near the western edge of the mountains. Transportation history is visible in the lengthy Old Railroad Grade that winds through the Mono Scenic Area, tracing a path between the lake and the rising slopes of the Mono National Forest. Resource extraction is evidenced by a scattered Prospect and several Wells located in the arid Mono Valley. The interplay of conservation and industry is evident here, as wilderness designations overlap with 4WD tracks and former industrial corridors, providing a detailed look at the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills as they appeared in the early 1990s.
