1984 Map of Broadwell Lake

About this map

Broadwell Lake occupies the center of this high-desert landscape, a dry basin situated between the Cady Mountains and the Bristol Mountains. The map reveals a transition from natural landforms to industrial infrastructure, characterized by the Old Railroad Grade and a Steel Tower Transmission Line cutting across the Broadwell Valley. Evidence of the region's mining history is found in the foothills, where the Old Dominion Mine and Lavic Mtn Mine are situated near several prospect sites. While the Broadwell (Site) indicates where human settlement once concentrated, the later 20th-century landscape is dominated by utility corridors, including the Argos Pipeline. This survey captures a remote Mojave drainage system defined by shifting washes and mountain slopes.
