1956 Map of Dale Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Mining operations and industrial salt extraction dominate this arid landscape where the Pinto Mountains meet the Sheep Hole Mountains. The central basin is defined by the extensive Salt Evaporators of Dale Lake, supported by a network of Salt Wells and a Salt Pit near the settlement of Bush. To the south, the map reveals a dense concentration of hard-rock mining history, particularly around the New Dale location and the northern reaches of Joshua Tree National Monument.
