1933 Map of Dome Rock Mountains

About this map

Mining operations and desert passages define this 1933 survey of the Dome Rock Range. The landscape is a network of gold and copper prospects, including the Bear Mine, Goodman Mine, and the Dome Basin Mining Company located near Middle Camp Mtn. This era shows the region before major modern development, where transportation relied on the Route No 60 Sunkist Trail and the north-south Parker Road. Along the Colorado River, the Colorado River Indian Reservation occupies the fertile bottomlands, contrasting with the arid La Posa Plain to the east. Critical water sources like La Paz Well and Tule Springs served as vital landmarks for travelers and prospectors navigating the passes of Cunningham Mountain and Diablo Pass. The settlement of Ehrenberg sits near the river, marking a historic crossing point at the edge of the desert.
