1952 Map of Emigrant Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Skidoo and Harrisburg represent the mining legacy of this portion of Death Valley National Monument, shown here as it was surveyed in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its water sources and mining claims, with operations like the Napoleon Mine, Argenta Mine, and Christmas Mine scattered across the high desert elevations. Transportation through this complex topography follows the Eichbaum Toll Road and Towne Pass Road, providing access to critical seasonal waypoints such as Emigrant Spring and Wildrose Spring. From the heights of Pinto Peak to the expansive Harrisburg Flats, the map reveals a network of early park infrastructure, including the Emigrant Ranger Station and Wildrose Ranger Station, alongside numerous unnamed prospects and mines that speak to the area's prospecting history.
