2012 Map of Toms Place

About this map

Lake Crowley and the high-elevation settlements of the eastern Sierra Nevada define this landscape during the early 2010s. The village of Toms Place serves as a central hub near the confluence of Rock Cr and Lower Rock Cr, surrounded by a dense network of mountain camps including French Camp Campground and Holiday Campground. The map reveals the intricate infrastructure required for mountain transit and water management, notably the Tunnel Number One along the Owens River corridor and the winding route of the Bishop Tuff Scenic Loop. From the recreational docks at South Landing to the meadows of Sky Meadow Ranch, the terrain transitions through geologic features like Little Round Valley and Whisky Canyon. This survey captures a moment when traditional camping sites and remote ranching outposts like Swall Meadow remained vital fixtures in this high-altitude environment.
