1944 Map of Chuckwalla Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Chuckwalla Mountains dominate this 1944 War Department survey, showing a landscape defined by desert water sources and hard-rock mining. The crossroads at Desert Center provides the primary point of settlement along the highway, while the interior of the range is marked by remote operations like the Lost Pony Mine, Red Cloud Mine, and Model Mine. These mining sites, connected by a network of unimproved desert roads and trails, point to the era's focus on mineral extraction in the Riverside County desert.
