1987 Map of White Mtn. Peak

About this map

White Mtn Peak White Mountain Research Sta Summit Laboratory University of California crowns this high-altitude landscape, marking a center for scientific study in the eastern Sierra. The terrain within the Inyo National Forest is defined by severe elevation changes, rising from the Hill Ranch and Lone Tree Creek in the lowlands to the alpine expanses of Pellisier Flats and peaks such as Mt Hogue. Resource extraction is evident through the Open Pit Mine and the naming of Jeffrey Mine Canyon, while water sources like Cottonwood Canyon Creek and Birch Creek cut through the steep canyons. The map serves as a detailed record of the borderlands between Mono and Inyo counties during the late 1980s.
