1951 Map of Eagle Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Amargosa River cuts a distinctive course through this arid landscape, flanked by the Greenwater Range and the Resting Spring Range. At the time of this mid-century survey, the industrial imprint of earlier mining eras is evident in the Dismantled Railroad and the Old Traction Road that snake through the valley. The map documents the Lila C Mine (Site) near the northwestern edge, a location central to the region's borax history. Small outposts like Evelyn sit along the former rail corridor, while vital water sources such as Miller Spring are noted against the backdrop of Brown Peak and Eagle Mtn. The topography reveals the complex drainage patterns of the Greenwater Valley as it descends toward the Alkali Flat, illustrating the remote and difficult terrain encountered by prospectors and teamsters in the California desert.
