This is apparently the oldest of several "towns" in Inyo County which are and apparently always were hotels/resorts/etc. Gudde explains the origin of the name but doesn't describe the place at all; a Fodors guide gives a bit more detail, but nothing contradicts what the oldest topos I could find (admittedly not all that old) say: it's the Stovepipe Wells Hotel. It's unclear why later maps deviate from this, but the name of the establishment hasn't changed. I see no sign it was ever a town per se, and I don't see signs that it is especially notable as a hotel. Mangoe ( talk) 23:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
