1952 Map of Ash Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Ash Meadows and the surrounding Amargosa Desert define this arid landscape along the Nevada and California border during the early 1950s. The region is characterized by an extensive network of springs and pools, including Fairbanks Spr, Crystal Pool, and Point of Rocks Springs, which sustained local ranching and early industrial efforts. The Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad appears here as a dismantled line, tracing a path south toward Death Valley Junction, which served as a vital regional post office and hub near the Death Valley Nat Monument boundary.
