1955 Map of Broadwell Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Broadwell (Site) marks a former settlement along an Old Railroad Grade in this arid region of the Mojave. This 1950s survey documents a landscape defined by ephemeral water and heavy mining exploration, where Broadwell Lake and Dry Lake dominate the basins between the Cady Mountains and the Bristol Mountains. Evidence of early 20th-century industry is found in scattered prospects and a shaft, while the presence of a abandoned well and a tank highlights the critical importance of water management in this desert environment. Travel through the area is restricted to a Jeep Trail, leading past geological curiosities like the Natural Arch and the secluded Hyten Spring on the eastern edge of Broadwell Mesa.
