1942 Map of Bullfrog

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Beatty and Rhyolite serve as the primary focal points of this 1942 military-coordinated survey, illustrating the mining and transportation networks of the Amargosa Desert region. The map documents a landscape in transition, where the T & T (Abandoned) railroad line parallels current highways near Carrara, pointing to the area's shifting industrial focus. The terrain spans from the Bullfrog Hills down to the eastern reaches of Death Valley National Monument, including significant landmarks like Chloride Cliff and the Salt Flat. Local mining history is preserved through the locations of the Jumbo, Busch, and Ladd mines, while numerous water sources such as Daylight Spring and Keane Spring highlight the critical infrastructure required for desert survival and industry during the early war years.
