1956 Map of Death Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Death Valley dominates this mid-century landscape, a region defined by extreme elevations and isolated desert outposts. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural efforts at Furnace Creek Ranch and Furnace Creek to the industrial remains of the Eagle Borax Works. Settlement patterns follow the few reliable water sources, such as Bennetts Well, Texas Spring, and Indian Spring, while mining interests are scattered across the surrounding ranges, including the Modoc Mine and Rifle Silver Mine.
