1958 Map of Boulder City NW

About this map

Mining and transportation infrastructure define this desert landscape south of Henderson, where industrial footprints from the late 1950s meet later developments. The Union Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain near Railroad Pass, a critical corridor flanked by the McCullough Range and the River Mountains. Prospecting history is visible at several sites, including the Alunite Mine and the Alunite (Site), as well as more remote operations like the Quo Vadis Mine and Blue Quartz Mine.
