1984 Map of Broadwell Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Broadwell Lake dominates this arid basin in the Mojave Desert, appearing here as a dry lakebed situated between the Bristol Mountains and the Cady Mountains. The landscape is a study in desert industry and infrastructure during the mid-1980s, marked by the historical Broadwell (Site) and a network of transit and utility corridors. Of particular interest to historians is the Old Railroad Grade running through the Broadwell Valley, which parallels modern utility developments like the Steel Tower Transmission Line and the Argos Pipeline. Mining activity is evident on the mountain fringes, specifically at the Old Dominion Mine and several unnamed Prospect sites. The mapping reflects a transition from early pioneer routes to late-20th-century energy infrastructure, all centered around the massive basin of the Wash.
