Having been to Lone Pine, CA (near the entrance to Death Valley)
I can assure you there is no mall there. In fact, there's not much
of anything there! The whole town consists of one main street (which
happens to be US 395 - Hmm?).  Lone Pine, CA is pretty much surrounded by
mountains (didn't see many in the movie) and the area in general
doesn't have much farmland to speak of (unlike the town in the movie.
Besides, the original 1985 mall was called "Twin Pines", until Marty
knocked over a tree in 1955, and came back to find the Lone Pine Mall.

I checked a map, and US 395 and US 8 do not intersect (and never have),
in California (or elsewhere).  But I'd still be interested in finding out
where the movie was filmed.
