1959 Map of Frisco

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Frisco and Newhouse stand as remnants of a former mining boom on the eastern slopes of the Wah Wah Mountains. By the late 1950s, these once-thriving silver and copper districts are noted as sites, characterized by an extensive infrastructure of old railroad grades and numerous workings including the Horn Silver Mine, Cactus Mine, and Imperial Mine. The industrial footprint of the San Pedro Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad Grade cuts through the high desert landscape, connecting these remote extraction points to broader markets.
