The fictional town prominently featured in Clint Eastwood's 1973 film High Plains Drifter is Lago.
Lago served as the central setting for "The Stranger's" arrival and his unique brand of justice. This town, crucial to the movie's narrative, was not an existing location but rather a custom-built set.
- Purpose: Lago was constructed specifically to accommodate the filming of High Plains Drifter, creating the isolated and atmospheric environment essential for the story.
- Location: The set for Lago was strategically built on the shores of Mono Lake, providing a desolate and visually striking backdrop for the film's events.
