USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad cuts a diagonal path across the arid Amargosa Desert, serving as a ghost of the region's industrial past. This 1952 survey documents a landscape of vanished outposts, noting the former locations of Ashton, Leeland, and Lees Camp. The topographic data highlights the dramatic transition from the flat expanse of Crater Flat and the iconic Big Dune to the rising peaks of the Funeral Mountains.
