Reward was a mining site in Inyo County, California.[1] It is located on the west side of the Inyo Mountains 9.5 miles (15 km) north of Lone Pine,[2] at an elevation of 3865 feet (1178 m).[1]
A post office operated at Reward from 1900 to 1906.[2][3] The town's name originates from a local mining company, Reward Consolidated Mining Co,[2] who operated the gold and silver Eclipse Mine in 1878 at the site.[3]
