1959 Map of Bliss

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Stewart Ranch and China Garden occupy the fringes of the Paradise Valley floor, where the Little Humboldt River winds through high desert basin and range country. This 1959 survey documents a landscape of transit and resource extraction, notably featuring the Tollhouse (Old Stage Sta), a reminder of earlier overland travel routes. To the south, the transportation corridor tightens along the river as the Western Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads converge near Weso and Bliss. High-country mining and prospecting are evident in the Santa Rosa Range, home to the Basque Mine, and across the valley floor toward Golconda Butte. Large expanses of Sand Dunes and the Gumboot terrain define the center of the quadrangle, illustrating the arid isolation of rural Humboldt County before more modern development reached the area.
