1967 Map of El Paso Peaks

About this map

El Paso Mountains and the Summit Range dominate this desert landscape, where the high point of El Paso Peaks overlooks a complex network of canyons and dry washes. The 1960s terrain is marked by industrial and survival infrastructure essential to the high desert, including numerous water sources like Willow Spring Well and Haggin Well. To the north, the floor of Searles Valley meets the foothills, supporting the Garden City Station and the settlement of Searles. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several unnamed mines near Goler Gulch and Phoenix Gulch indicates a history of extraction that shaped the local geography. In the southern reaches, Fremont Valley opens up, traversed by established routes like Garlock Road and Randsburg Road, which connect isolated outposts like Goler Heights to the surrounding mining districts.
