1955 Map of Cady Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across this arid landscape, anchoring small desert outposts like Hector and Pisgah during the mid-1950s. The terrain is dominated by the volcanic and metamorphic formations of the Cady Mountains, with prominent peaks such as Sleeping Beauty, Mellon, and Cady. This survey documents a history of resource extraction, highlighting several remote workings including the Logan Mine, Black Butte Mine, Preston Mine, and Paymaster Mine. A significant Pipeline traverses the southern sections near extensive Lava flows, illustrating the industrial infrastructure required to move resources through the Mojave Desert. The seasonal Mojave River appears in the northwest corner, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding water-scarce environment marked only by an occasional Well or Windmill.
