1994 Map of Uhlmeyer Spring

About this map

Tollhouse (Site) marks a historical point of transit in the high desert transition between the White Mountains and the Inyo Mountains. In the mid-1990s, this landscape was defined by its water sources and mining history, with names like Uhlmeyer Spring, Wilkerson Springs, and Batchelder Spring anchoring the arid terrain. The presence of numerous prospects and gravel pits suggests a legacy of extraction, while the Owens Valley River flows through the valley floor to the west. This survey illustrates the intricate network of 4WD trails and the Second Standard Parallel South that provided access to remote canyons like Soldier Canyon and Crooked Road Canyon, detailing the complex topography of the Inyo National Forest boundary.
