1951 Map of Waucoba Mtn

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Inyo Mountains dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by mining operations and water management for the Owens Valley. Surveyed just after the war, the map documents a transition in infrastructure, most notably along the western edge where the Southern Pacific Railroad (Dismantled) follows the path of the Owens River near the Tinemaha Reservoir. While small settlements like Monola and the Poverty Hills are visible, much of the human activity is recorded through isolated sites such as Graham Ranch (Site) and the historic Toll House guarding the mountain passage.
