1947 Map of Castle Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Rand Mountains dominate the northern skyline of this mid-century topographic study, which captures the industrial and agricultural fringes of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is defined by the extraction of natural resources and isolated ranching outposts, most notably the Muroc Clay Co and mining operations at Number 3 and Number 4. These sites, along with the Desert Butte mine, illustrate the region's mid-century reliance on mineral wealth and clay processing.
