1958 Map of Boulder City SW

About this map

The Eldorado Valley Dry Lake (Depression) dominates the northern landscape of this Mojave Desert region, illustrating the stark hydrology of Clark County in the mid-20th century. To the east, the terrain rises into the Eldorado Mountains, a range characterized by steep slopes and isolated summits such as Bump. This survey documents a quiet but active industrial footprint, with several shafts and a shaft located south of the valley floor, indicating small-scale prospecting or mining operations typical of the era. The presence of these mineral extraction points alongside a long-range pipeline suggests a landscape transitioning between traditional hard-rock mining and the infrastructure required for regional energy and resource transport.
