2012 Map of Arlington Mine

About this map

Arlington Mine sits at the heart of this desert landscape in eastern Riverside County, positioned between significant geological formations. The terrain is defined by the Little Maria Mountains to the north and the Mc Coy Mountains to the south, with the drainage of McCoy Wash cutting through the arid expanse. This 2012 survey illustrates the isolated nature of mining operations in the region, where infrastructure is limited to essential desert tracks. Access to this remote industrial site is provided by Arlington Mine Rd and Coxcomb Monument Rd, highlighting the specialized road network required to service the interior of the California desert. The map captures a moment in the modern era of desert land use where the geography remains dominated by natural features and historical mining interests.
