Beveridge gold mining camp, which existed between the 1880s and the 1910s, and had a post office from 1881 to 1882, was within Beveridge Canyon at the eastern side of the Inyo Mountains. Today, the nearest settlement is Lone Pine in Owens Valley, 11 miles (18 km) southwest on Route 395. The Saline Valley is 4 miles (6 km) to the east. There are remnants of cabins, mining equipment, and rock-built structures. Access is from the west along the Beverage Canyon Trail, suitable only for hiking. The mine is listed in the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS) as "Beveridge Canyon Mn No. 12".[2][3][4][5][6]
