1955 Map of Cady Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Cady Mountains dominate this arid landscape, a region defined by mid-century mining and transcontinental rail infrastructure. Sparse desert outposts like Hector and Pisgah serve as key points along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels a major pipeline and telegraph network across the southern portion of the map. Evidence of the area's mineral extraction history is scattered throughout the peaks and valleys, with operations such as the Logan Mine, Black Butte Mine, Preston Mine, and Paymaster Mine marking significant resource claims. The terrain itself is characterized by volcanic features, including extensive lava flows and distinct peaks such as Sleeping Beauty and Flat Top. Water sources are notably scarce, indicated by labels for a solitary Well and a Windmill, while the Mojave River passes through the northwestern corner near a series of jeep trails that navigate the high desert.
