About this map

The Calico Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, revealing a high concentration of mining activity including the Silver Bow Mine, Burcham Mine, and St Louis Mine. The central corridor is defined by the Mojave River valley, which serves as a vital transportation artery for the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The map documents a period of significant military presence, with various installments of the Marine Corps Supply Center established at Nebo, Daggett, and Yermo.
