1967 Map of Basalt

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The settlement of Basalt sits at the base of the Candelaria Hills in this 1960s survey of Mineral County. This arid landscape is defined by the remnants of industrial infrastructure and mineral extraction, most notably the long arcs of the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade that traverse the territory. These corridors once connected the region's mining operations to broader markets. Evidence of this extraction economy is visible throughout the hills at the Eastside Mine and Noguez Mine, alongside scattered Gravel Pits and a Mine Dump. A Landing Strip and several Water Tanks represent the necessary adaptations for transport and survival in this high-desert environment, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating the complex terrain.
