1987 Map of Westgard Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest protects some of the world's oldest living organisms along the high ridges of the White Mountains and Inyo Mountains. This 1987 survey details the complex terrain surrounding Westgard Pass, where the landscape is marked by both conservation and extraction. Mining history is evident at the Mollie Gibson Mines and Grandview Mine, while the higher elevations provide outlooks like Sierra View. The map documents a network of primitive roads and trails connecting specialized recreational sites, including Fossil Campground and Piñon Picnic Area. Water sources are sparse but critical, represented by isolated points like Black Canyon Spring and Montenegro Spring. The dramatic relief of Poleta Canyon and Redding Canyon underscores the transition from the high desert flats to the timbered mountain peaks.
