1951 Map of Desert Mound

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Iron mining and ranching define this high-desert landscape in the mid-century, where the industrial infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad reaches into the mineral-rich hills. The focal point of the area is the prominent Open Pit Iron Mine and its associated Mine Dump near the small settlement of Desert Mound. To the southwest, the Homestake Mine is noted as inactive by 1951, marking a shift in the local extraction economy.
