Bodie State Park was a gold mining town located in Mono County, California, right at the state line. The quilt’s topo map sky shows Aurora, Nevada, as this area was originally assigned to California and named as the Mono County seat. Later, Aurora was found to actually be in Nevada. The Bodie mine was in production until 1942, when everyone walked away, leaving everything behind, now preserved in a state of “arrested decay” for visitors.
