1993 Map of Union Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Owens River corridor in Inyo County reveals a complex water and industrial history in this mid-1990s survey. Significant water infrastructure, including the Los Angeles Aqueduct, Alabama Gates, and the Mc Iver Canal, highlights the massive diversion projects that reshaped this valley. To the east, the Old Railroad Grade traces the path of former transportation networks that once connected the mining and ranching interests of the region. The map captures the industrial legacy of the Reward Mine and Reward Eclipse Canyon near the settlement of Reward. On the western edge, the distinct granite landscape of the Alabama Hills National Recreation Area and the North Alabama Hills provides a sharp geological contrast to the alluvial floor of the valley, while the site of Manzanar and the settlement of Owenyo mark important historical human footprints in the Owens Valley.
