Charcoal kiln

These charcoal kilns are located in upper Wildrose Canyon in the Panamint Mountians along the access road to the Thorndike and Mahogany Flat campgrounds in the Panamint Range. The kilns are about 8.5 miles east of the Wildrose Ranger Station.
Each beehive-shaped charcoal kiln is approximately 30 feet tall and 30 feet in diameter and made of local stone and mortar. The kilns were built in 1877 to produce charcoal from the surrounding piñon pine and juniper forest in the Panamint Range around Mahogany Flat to provide fuel to the Madoc Mine smelter, 25 miles to the west across the Panamint Valley.

Forno per la produzione di carbone di legna

Questi forni di carbone di legna sono situati nella parte superiore del canalone di Wildrose nel Panamint Mountians lungo la via di accesso al Thorndike ed ai campi di tende del Mahogany Flat, nella catena del Panamint. I forni sono a circa 14 chilometri ad est della stazione dei ranger di Wildrose
Ogni forno di carbone di legna, ha forma di alveare, è alto circa 9 metri e 9 metri di diametro ed è fatto in pietra locale e malta. I forni sono stati costruiti nel 1877 per produrre carbone di legna dalla foresta circostante di pino e ginepro della catena del Panamint intorno al Mahogany Flat (piano di mogano) per fornire il combustibile alla fonderia della miniera di Madoc, 40 chilometri ad ovest dalla valle del Panamint.
