1943 Map of Cross Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Mining and infrastructure define this landscape on the edge of the Mojave Desert during the mid-1940s. The presence of the Los Angeles Aqueduct winding through the canyons highlights the critical role of water transport in this arid region. High-country peaks like Cross Mountain and Mayan Peak tower over a network of isolated extraction sites, including the San Antonio Mine, Lone Star Mine, and Skyline Mine. These scattered operations suggest a period of active mineral exploration across the complex terrain of Butterbread Canyon and Jawbone Canyon.
