2011 Map of Belleville

About this map

Industrial remains of the mining era dominate this portion of Mineral County, centered on the infrastructure that once supported the silver rush. The map identifies the sites of the Northern Belle Companys Lower Mill and the Northern Belle Companys Upper Mill, marking the heavy processing footprint required to extract wealth from the surrounding desert. The landscape is a network of functional transit points and water sources, including Candelaria Junction and the critical Belleville Spring. Higher elevations like Little Summit overlook a terrain traversed by utilitarian routes such as Moho Rd, Garfield Flat Rd, and Pump Hse Rd. This survey documents a quieted landscape where the placement of mills and junctions still traces the logic of nineteenth-century resource extraction and desert survival.
