1943 Map of Cross Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Aqueduct and Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchor the southeastern edge of this high-desert landscape, tracing a path of infrastructure essential to early 20th-century California growth. This 1943 survey reveals a rugged interior defined by mining activity, evidenced by the San Antonio Mine, Lone Star Mine, and the isolated Skyline Mine near Chuckwalla Mountain. These operations, along with the Dove Spring Mill, indicate a localized industrial economy built on the mineral wealth of the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills.
