1958 Map of Boulder City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Boulder City serves as the focal point of this late-1950s survey, illustrating its position as a planned municipal hub bordered by the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The landscape is dominated by the industrial and geological features of the McCullough Range and the Eldorado Mountains, where the Union Pacific railroad threads through Railroad Pass. This corridor reveals a legacy of resource extraction, with the Alunite Mine and the settlement of Alunite marking the northern pass, while more remote operations like the Quo Vadis Mine and Blue Quartz Mine are tucked into the higher elevations.
