1987 Map of West of Teakettle Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Saline Valley and the towering Last Chance Range dominate this desert landscape in Inyo County during the late 1980s. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness defined by stark topography and specialized water sources, most notably at Upper Warm Spring. The presence of a Prospect near the western edge of the range suggests intermittent mineral exploration, a common thread in the history of this region. Navigating this environment relied heavily on primitive infrastructure, represented here by a network of 4wd tracks that traverse the valley floor and climb toward the mountain passes. This survey, based on 1984 photography, documents the area in a moment of stillness, serving as a primary source for understanding the remote access points and water locations essential for survival and industry in the high desert.
