Geologic Map of the Long Valley Caldera, Mono-Inyo Craters
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP 1-1933 US. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF LONG VALLEY CALDERA, MONO-INYO CRATERS VOLCANIC CHAIN, AND VICINITY, EASTERN CALIFORNIA By Roy A. Bailey GEOLOGIC SETTING VOLCANISM Long Valley caldera and the Mono-Inyo Craters Long Valley caldera volcanic chain compose a late Tertiary to Quaternary Volcanism in the Long Valley area (Bailey and others, volcanic complex on the west edge of the Basin and 1976; Bailey, 1982b) began about 3.6 Ma with Range Province at the base of the Sierra Nevada frontal widespread eruption of trachybasaltic-trachyandesitic fault escarpment. The caldera, an east-west-elongate, lavas on a moderately well dissected upland surface oval depression 17 by 32 km, is located just northwest (Huber, 1981).Erosional remnants of these mafic lavas of the northern end of the Owens Valley rift and forms are scattered over a 4,000-km2 area extending from the a reentrant or offset in the Sierran escarpment, Adobe Hills (5-10 km notheast of the map area), commonly referred to as the "Mammoth embayment.'? around the periphery of Long Valley caldera, and The Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain forms a north- southwestward into the High Sierra. Although these trending zone of volcanic vents extending 45 km from lavas never formed a continuous cover over this region, the west moat of the caldera to Mono Lake. The their wide distribution suggests an extensive mantle prevolcanic basement in the area is mainly Mesozoic source for these initial mafic eruptions. Between 3.0 granitic rock of the Sierra Nevada batholith and and 2.5 Ma quartz-latite domes and flows erupted near Paleozoic metasedimentary and Mesozoic metavolcanic the north and northwest rims of the present caldera, at rocks of the Mount Morrisen, Gull Lake, and Ritter and near Bald Mountain and on San Joaquin Ridge Range roof pendants (map A). -

Interest and the Panamint Shoshone (E.G., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934)
109 VyI. NOTES ON BOUNDARIES AND CULTURE OF THE PANAMINT SHOSHONE AND OWENS VALLEY PAIUTE * Gordon L. Grosscup Boundary of the Panamint The Panamint Shoshone, also referred to as the Panamint, Koso (Coso) and Shoshone of eastern California, lived in that portion of the Basin and Range Province which extends from the Sierra Nevadas on the west to the Amargosa Desert of eastern Nevada on the east, and from Owens Valley and Fish Lake Valley in the north to an ill- defined boundary in the south shared with Southern Paiute groups. These boundaries will be discussed below. Previous attempts to define the Panamint Shoshone boundary have been made by Kroeber (1925), Steward (1933, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941) and Driver (1937). Others, who have worked with some of the groups which border the Panamint Shoshone, have something to say about the common boundary between the group of their special interest and the Panamint Shoshone (e.g., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934). Kroeber (1925: 589-560) wrote: "The territory of the westernmost member of this group [the Shoshone], our Koso, who form as it were the head of a serpent that curves across the map for 1, 500 miles, is one of the largest of any Californian people. It was also perhaps the most thinly populated, and one of the least defined. If there were boundaries, they are not known. To the west the crest of the Sierra has been assumed as the limit of the Koso toward the Tubatulabal. On the north were the eastern Mono of Owens River. -
NFWF Ranch on East Walker Now Open for Public Access
NFWF ranch on East Walker now open for public access Mason Valley News June 24, 2015 By: Keith Trout The Walker Basin Conservancy announced last week that a large portion of the Rafter 7 Ranch, which the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation purchased in early 2013 and which runs along 11 miles of the East Walker River, is now open for public access. “Visitors to that area can enjoy this well-preserved section of the East Walker River for recreational activities such as hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing,” stated a press release from the WBC of the ranch located off of the East Walker Road in far south Mason Valley. Rafter 7 Ranch, which was used for years for grazing both cattle and sheep, is privately owned by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and was purchased as part of the Walker River Basin Restoration Program, which is administered by NFWF and funded by Congressional appropriations. The primary purpose of the ranch acquisition is to transfer most of the Rafter 7 Ranch’s water rights instream to Walker Lake. However, according to the press release, NFWF determined the unique attributes of the property allowed for additional conservation and enjoyment of the riparian corridor and decided to work to allow public access, little of which is available along the river, as most of the river is on private land. Public access on the ranch is managed by the WBC, a nonprofit established by NFWF to manage on-the-ground operations associated with this program and provide long-term stewardship. Portions of the property will remain restricted from public access, though, as it is still an active ranch with cattle grazing and a variety of re-vegetation efforts in progress, the Walker Basin Conservancy reported. -

Toiyabe Forest Plan Vista Towers Comm Site Amendment
DECISION NOTICE FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Vista Towers Communications Project USDA Forest Service Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Bridgeport Ranger District Mono County, California and Douglas County, Nevada Background Communications sites are one of the special uses recognized in the Toiyabe National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP, 1986). New communications sites on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest are required to be designated as such in the LRMP, as required by Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 2709.11, Chapter 90. The Forest Service has been given direction from the President and Congress to facilitate implementation of the Nation's strategy for wireless communications. • Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of October 21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761-1771) authorizes the use of National Forest System lands for telecommunications uses. • On August 1 0, 1995, President Clinton released a memorandum entitled "Facilitating Access to Federal Property for the Siting of Mobile Services Antennas." The memorandum requires, upon request, and to the extent permitted by law and where practicable, that executive departments and agencies make available, Federal Government buildings and lands for the siting of mobile service antennas. • The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. 332), Section 704(c) requires Federal agencies to facilitate the development and placement of telecommunications equipment on buildings and land they manage, when placement does not conflict with the agency's mission or current -
Chapter 06 Fisheries & Aquatic Resources.Pdf
CHAPTER 6 Fisheries and Aquatic Resources CHAPTER 6 FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES This chapter describes the existing fisheries and aquatic resources conditions, the applicable regulations, and potential impacts from implementation of the Proposed Project Alternative and other alternatives on the fisheries and aquatic resources in the Project Area. 6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING This section describes the environmental setting related to fisheries and aquatic resources that may be influenced by implementation of the Proposed Project Alternative or other alternatives in the Project Area including Lake Mary, Mammoth Creek extending from Lake Mary to its confluence with Hot Creek, and Hot Creek from its confluence with Mammoth Creek downstream to the USGS Hot Creek Flume Gage. 6.1.1 LAKE MARY Lake Mary is a cirque lake (a deep, steep-walled basin on a mountain) formed by the filling of remnant moraine depressions left by receding glaciers (USGS 1999). Lake Mary contains prominent granite features, and cold, clear water, making it a popular angling destination. A "fishing enhancement" program is implemented by both the Town of Mammoth Lakes and CDFG to maintain the lake’s appeal as a “trophy” trout destination. The recreational fishery in Lake Mary is maintained by both the Town of Mammoth Lakes and CDFG because of its economic importance to the Mammoth Lakes Basin (Mammoth City Concierge 2010). Lake Mary has been, and continues to be managed as a put-and-take recreational fishery. Hatchery rainbow trout have been regularly planted by CDFG beginning in the late spring and extending through the summer. The lake also is often planted with “Alpers trout.” The Alpers trout is a genetic hybrid of rainbow trout, Kamloops trout and steelhead, raised in the streams and ponds of Alpers Owens River Ranch. -
