1933 Map of Avawatz Mountains

About this map

The Amargosa Range and Black Mts define this desert landscape, where industrial remnants like the Epsom Salts Works and a Monorail RR hint at the grueling efforts to extract minerals from the basin. The Amargosa River flows through the heart of the region toward Death Valley, supporting scattered outposts such as China Ranch and Tecopa. This map captures a period of early 20th-century expansion before many of these rail-dependent settlements faded.
