2015 Map of Calumet Mine

About this map

The Calumet Mine sits at the heart of this arid landscape, nestled between the southern reach of the Cadiz Valley and the rising peaks of the Calumet Mountains. This high-desert terrain within the Mojave Desert shows a classic pattern of remote industrial activity defined by isolation and topography. The map illustrates how mining operations are concentrated around the primary geological formations, with the surrounding valley floors remaining largely undeveloped. Public land survey system lines, including t4n r13e and t4n r14e, provide a rigid grid over the undulating contours of the desert, where dramatic elevation changes in the mountains contrast sharply with the broad, open basins of the valley.
