1982 Map of Union Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Reward Mine and adjacent Reward Eclipse Canyon anchor the northern slopes of the Inyo Mountains on this 1982 survey, overlooking a valley defined by early 20th-century transportation infrastructure. The landscape reveals the complex history of the Owens Valley, featuring the Old Owenyo Railroad Grade and the Narrow Gauge Road, which once served the regional mining and agricultural economy. The Owens River winds through the basin near Alabama Gates, marking a critical point in the California water system overseen by the Department of Water Resources. To the west, the Alabama Hills Recreation Area rises toward the Sierra foothills, while the small settlement of Owenyo sits at the junction of former rail lines. This map is particularly valuable for tracing industrial remnants, including numerous unnamed Mines, Prospects, and the distinct geological landmark of Fossil Hill.
