The Cottonwood Charcoal Kilns Monument &
Stone Masonry Kiln Ruins

Located 7 miles north of Cartago, Inyo County, California

Manual Castro, the manager of F. W. Aggregates (owner and operator of the dolomite quarries located near Lone Pine, once known as the Inyo Marble Company Quarries) donated this and other large pieces of dolomite quarried from the F. W. Aggregates quarries for use as local monuments.  (The following photographs were taken by Peggy B. and Pat Perazzo in late September 2010.) More information and photographs of the Inyo Marble quarries and present-day F. W. Aggregates dolomite quarries are available in the “Inyo Dolomite/Marble Company Quarries” section of our web site.
