1954 Map of Bare Mtn

About this map

The mining-scarred landscape of Bare Mountain reveals a legacy of silver, gold, and fluorspar extraction during the mid-20th century. While Beatty serves as the primary hub along U.S. 95 and the Amargosa River, the map documents the fading footprint of earlier boom periods through features like the Ruins of Carrara. This settlement, once a company town for marble quarrying, is shown here as the rail infrastructure that once served it begins to vanish. Both the Tidewater and Tonopah RR and the Bullfrog Gold Field RR are marked as dismantled, tracing ghostly paths through the desert floor.
