Any info on east & southeast side of Mono Lake?

I was looking at the area on a paper map and noticed there's an 'unimproved' road that goes from Hwy 167 around the east/southeast side of the lake and back around to the tufa towers/Lee Vining area. I was thinking it might make an interesting MTB ride next spring or fall (depending on any seasonal bird nesting restrictions). Web available info lists it as the location of a former rail line during the area's mining glory days. The road doesn't appear on Google Maps, even on the satellite images. Anybody been back there in the last few years? Does the dirt road even exist anymore?
