Emmet Hayden founded the Hayden Map Company in the 1920s, originally producing property maps and land surveys in the rapidly expanding Los Angeles housing market of the time. After starting up a summer guide business in Mammoth Lakes, the eternal questions about where to hunt, fish, hike, and camp, led to the evolution of the Hayden Map Company, as primarily a producer of wilderness and outdoors guides and maps.
