1953 Map of Acolita
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Chocolate Mountains dominate this arid landscape in the mid-1950s, defining a region where industrial mining and early transportation infrastructure intersect. Hard rock mining operations are evident at the Black Eagle Mine and Mary Lode Mine in the northern ridges, while the valley floor is characterized by the long diagonal of the Southern Pacific railroad. Small settlements like Acolita and Mesquite appear as stops along this rail line, adjacent to the Niland-Glamis Road.
