1953 Map of Acolita

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate this mid-century topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by industrial extraction and military utility. Extensive mining operations such as the Black Eagle Mine and Mary Lode Mine are visible in the high desert terrain, connected by rugged Jeep Trails. The lowlands are marked by the Southern Pacific Road corridor, where small rail-aligned settlements like Acolita and Mesquite served as vital points in the desert transit network.
