1917 Map of White Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

White Mountain Peak and the surrounding high-altitude desert of the Mono National Forest and Inyo National Forest dominate this landscape during the First World War era. Straddling the high border between California and Nevada, the survey captures a network of remote ranching outposts and high-elevation mining operations. Along the Southern Pacific rail line, small hubs like Benton Sta and the Cinnamon Ranch Mocalno PO served as vital connections for the region's isolated residents. The map provides a remarkable level of detail for local historians and genealogists, documenting named family properties such as the Pellissier Ranch, Taylor Ranch, and McNett Ranch. Evidence of a specialized mountain economy is seen in the high-elevation corrals, including the Grey Haired Johnnys Corral and Stone Corral, alongside various mining claims like the Queen Mine and Gold Hill.
