1990 Map of Waucoba Mtn

About this map

Inyo Mountains high country dominates this 1990 photo-inspected survey, revealing a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and isolated geological formations. The terrain rises to the prominent Waucoba Mountain and Andrews Mountain, while the expanse of Papoose Flat provides a rare level opening amidst the surrounding peaks. This area within the Inyo National Forest shows a history of mineral exploration, marked by scattered prospects and mines that suggest the region's long-standing appeal to prospectors. Access is limited to the Death Valley Road and rugged 4WD tracks, which navigate through dramatic features like The Narrows and the deep cuts of Marble Canyon. The lack of major culture or drainage changes noted in this era preserves the character of these high-altitude desert ranges during the late twentieth century.
