Ghost Town

Chrysopolis

Inyo County, CA

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Short-lived Owens Valley mining camp on the east side of the valley north of Independence approaches. A thin Inyo ghost for a named silver-era settlement that never became a permanent town—field pin for valley-edge mineral history, not a waterfowl viewing area.
