1955 Map of Deadman Lake SE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this high desert landscape, which in the mid-1950s was characterized by extensive military use and scattered mineral prospecting. The southern expanse is defined by the Marine Corps Training Center and a Naval Reservation Boundary, indicating the area's conversion into a specialized military range. Evidence of small-scale activity is found at a Rifle Range and a Gravel Pit near the southern flats. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only access into the elevated terrain where several unnamed Prospects and a single Prospect to the east point to a history of exploratory mining. The arid basin to the west is anchored by the dry bed of Deadman Lake, reflecting a landscape of intense isolation and tactical utility.
