1958 Map of Waucoba Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Waucoba Mtn dominates the high desert terrain of Inyo County, rising above a landscape defined by isolated ranches, mining prospects, and the evolving infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The Owens River and Tinemaha Reservoir anchor the western valley, where the Southern Pacific Railroad (Dismantled) traces a former transportation corridor through the Poverty Hills. In the high country, the map documents the extraction history of the region through the Riche Mine, Montezuma Mine, and Blake Mine, while open areas like Papoose Flat and Harkless Flat suggest the vastness of the Inyo National Forest. Settlement remains sparse, represented by locations such as Toll House, Monola, and the Graham Ranch (Site), illustrating the transition from early pioneer homesteads to a more protected wilderness managed by the state and federal governments.
