Origin of the name
The name “Maturango” first appeared in 1877 on the Wheeler Survey Map.[4] It may be derived from the Spanish word “maturrango” (an appellation used in Buenos Aires for a European, meaning a bad horseman or a bad horse), or it may be derived from the name Malarango, a chief of the Coso people.[5]
