1967 Map of Belleville

About this map

Belleville and Candelaria Junction are documented as primary sites of interest in this high-desert landscape between the Excelsior Mountains and the Candelaria Hills. The map serves as a detailed record of late-19th-century mining infrastructure, showing extensive tailings, mill ruins, and unnamed ruins that mark the locations of former silver processing operations. A winding old railroad grade cuts through the terrain, tracing the path of the narrow-gauge lines that once serviced these remote camps.
