1950 Map of Confidence Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Ashford Mill (Ruins) stands at the base of the Black Mountains, marking a era of industrial effort in the southern reach of Death Valley. This 1950 field check reveals a landscape where the Amargosa River flows through a deep depression, surrounded by the sharp elevations of the Owlshead Mountains and the Confidence Hills. The mapping records specific mining activity at the Ashford Mine and the Desert Hound Mine, alongside smaller operations like the Confidence Mill (Site). Natural water sources were critical for these isolated ventures, evidenced by Virgin Spring, Rhodes Spring, and Bradbury Well. The terrain is punctuated by landmarks such as Shore Line Butte and Jubilee Mtn, while the Death Valley National Monument Boundary tracks across the arid wash of the Rhodes Wash.
