1986 Map of Buzzard Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mining operations and arid landforms dominate the landscape of the Eagle Mountains in this mid-1980s topographical study. The northern portion of the sheet is marked by industrial activity, particularly at the Eagle Mountain Mine where a significant Mine Dump is noted near the Iron Chief Mine. These large-scale extractions contrast with smaller historical claims scattered through the desert terrain, including the evocatively named Mission Sweet Mine and Rainbows End Mine. Hydrology in this part of Riverside County is characterized by ephemeral features like Big Wash and Eagle Creek, which highlight the drainage patterns of the high desert. The presence of Buzzard Spring serves as a critical point of interest, representing one of the few named water sources in an otherwise dry and formidable mountain range.
