1984 Map of East of Kingston Spring

About this map

Shadow Mtn Mine sits at the heart of this desert landscape, surrounded by several identified Prospects that indicate the mining activity of the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation of Shadow Mtn and the northern reaches of the Shadow Mountains, which overlook the broad expanse of Shadow Valley. Water drainage is primarily captured by Kingston Wash, a prominent feature running through the northern sector. Industrial development is evident through the path of 3 Steel Tower Transmission Lines cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Several 4wd routes provide the only access through this arid region, connecting the scattered mining sites to the broader valley floor and outlining the remote character of this corner of San Bernardino County during this era.
