1967 Map of Basalt

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The small outpost of Basalt sits at the junction of desert industry and early transportation networks in this 1967 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding path of the Old Railroad Grade, which skirts the base of the Candelaria Hills and provides a structural anchor for the region's mining and gravel operations. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, from the Eastside Mine to the Naguez Mine, alongside several unidentified mines and a Mine Dump. Infrastructure for the era's light aviation and desert transit is marked by a Landing Strip and multiple Water Tanks, highlighting the logistical challenges of operating in this arid Mineral County environment. Later revisions from 1980 show the persistence of these routes and extraction sites through the late twentieth century.
