1967 Map of Cantil

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The arid floor of Fremont Valley and the surrounding El Paso Mountains define this landscape during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a specialized industrial and transportation corridor where the Southern Pacific railroad served mineral extraction sites along the edge of the dry Koehn Lake bed. Key nodes of this economy include the Saltdale settlement with its associated Salt Evaporators and the now-deteriorated Daley Mill. To the west, Red Rock Canyon cuts through the mountains near the former Ricardo site, while the interior valley features small settlements like Cantil and Gypsite. This document provides a look at the desert's infrastructure, from the early Historical Monument to functional features like a Landing Strip and named desert routes including Munsey Road and Last Chance Canyon Road.
