1961 Map of Delano Mountains

About this map

Mining operations and remote ranching outposts define this high-desert landscape in the Delano Mountains during the mid-twentieth century. The northeastern peaks are dotted with evidence of extraction at the Delano Mines, including the Cleveland Mine, Gold Note Mine, and Mitchell Mine. These sites are linked by a network of trails and jeep tracks that traverse steep canyons like Delano Canyon and Dry Canyon, leading toward the prominent Delano Peak.
