1950 Map of Darwin

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Darwin and its surrounding mineral-rich ranges define this mid-century portrait of Inyo County’s high desert mining landscape. The map highlights an extensive industrial network, centered on the Darwin Mines and the associated Tailings and Lane Mill near the town center. To the west, the Talc City Hills show a concentration of specialized extraction, including the Alliance Talc Mine and the Silver Dollar Mine. This era captures the transition of many workings to inactive status, yet the infrastructure of the mining economy remains prominent.
