1956 Map of Flynn

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Union Pacific line cuts through the arid northern landscape of the Mojave, connecting the siding at Flynn to the broader rail network. This mid-century survey illustrates a region defined by water scarcity and mineral extraction, where life congregates around remote outposts like Pine Tree Ranch and the seasonal refuge of Dorners Camp. The high peaks of the Providence Mountains dominate the eastern view, home to Mitchell Caverns State Park and the curious Winding Stair Cave. Extensive mining operations are documented throughout the slopes, including the Bonanza King Mine, Rex Mine, and Vulcan Mine. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the shifting sands of the Devils Playground and the Kelso Dunes, while a network of washes like Winston Wash and Kelso Wash trace the paths of infrequent desert rains toward the Granite Mountains.
