1967 Map of Belleville

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Candelaria Hills and Excelsior Mountains dominate this high-desert mining landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map serves as a physical record of the region's industrial decline, centered on the Belleville (Site), where extensive Tailings and Mill Ruins remain alongside a lonely Cem. The once-vital transportation network is reduced to an Old Railroad Grade and an Old RR Grade, cutting through the valley toward the Candelaria Junction (Site). Evidence of extraction persists at the Giroux Mine and various unnamed Mine workings, while natural features like the Sand Dunes shift across the arid terrain. The map captures a moment when the heavy infrastructure of the silver and milling era had transitioned into a landscape of ruins and jeep trails.
