USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Industrial mineral extraction dominates the landscape at this Mojave Desert site, most notably via the massive Open Pit Mine and its accompanying Mine Dump. The map reveals the infrastructure required for such large-scale operations, including an extensive Conveyor system, multiple Tailings Ponds, and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. Settlement is concentrated in Boron and Desert Lake, where local amenities like West Boron Sch and a High Sch serve the mining community.
