What is a Mazourka Road?

Mazourka is a polka that was popular at dances in the 1860's when the mining road was improved and named by miners heading for Badger Flat and Mazourka Peak. The Road runs between the town of Bend (long gone) and Badger Flat. Native Americans originally used the trail to access the pine nut and game hunting areas higher in the Inyo Mountains.
