From Aug 1945 WAC chart

Hey Zenithguy, If you guys are really trying to get it open, I'd love to see a thread on it. Thanks.
Never did understand how a bush plane could kill endangered golden trout, but some how a hippie taking a bath in the creek did no harm. #-o

Re: Old sectional charts. Do you have them?

Zenithguy,
I found Monache on the CG-18 WAC chart from 1973. Lists it as a USFS strip at 8000' and as 2500 feet long. Lat and long roughly 36 deg 14 min N, 118 deg 12 min W.
Looking back at an older WAC and Sectional (1958) the strip is called Grants and it is depicted as being on the other side of the river. The South Fork ( Kern?). It is also at 8000 ft elevation is 2900 feet long. Did the river change it's course over time?


I could not find Coyote Flats anywhere. Do you have lat and long for it. Googling it led me here.

The coordinates they have do not reveal anything on my charts. By the website info it sounds like it was a busy place and should be on the charts. I'm curious now.

PM me an email address and I'll send you scans of the charts I have depicting the area.

Re: Old sectional charts. Do you have them?

Thanks, guys, I'm figuring how to post pics and I'll put post some pics and info. RAF is active in opening up Monache, and Coyote Flats has never been closed. Desert Rat is very familiar with both, but I haven't had a response from him. I was at both this summer, and both would be a great addition.
