1987 Map of Waucoba Mtn

About this map

The Inyo Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Inyo National Forest, as documented in this 1987 provisional survey. The area is marked by significant peaks, including Waucoba Mountain and Andrews Mountain, separated by a network of drainage systems and high plateaus. Of particular interest to those tracing historical land use are the numerous mine and prospects labels scattered across the terrain, indicating a legacy of mineral exploration. The presence of several guzzler locations points to the management of local wildlife resources in this arid environment. The map details the transition from the open expanses of Papoose Flat and Squaw Flat to the confined reaches of The Narrows and the dramatic drop into Marble Canyon. A web of 4wd tracks provides the primary means of navigating the complex topography between these landmarks.
