Named here by Lone Pine’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Lone Pine, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

High Sierra 1941

“The Whitney Portal road was used in the film High Sierra (1941) with Humphrey Bogart, which culminated with a shoot-out between Bogart's character and the police, at the foot of Mount Whitney.” Wikipedia
