1956 Map of Essex

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Essex sits at the northern edge of this high desert landscape, serving as a vital stop along the A. T. & S. F. railway line. The terrain is dominated by the Piute Mountains and the Little Piute Mountains, where a mid-century mining economy is evident through scattered claims and prospects. Numerous workings such as the Golden Fleece Mine, Enterprise Mine, and the Copper King Mine dot the slopes, revealing the intensity of mineral exploration in the eastern Mojave during this era.
