1967 Map of Garlock

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Garlock sits at the southern foot of the El Paso Mountains, serving as a focal point where the desert floor of the Fremont Valley meets the mineral-rich uplands. This 1967 survey captures a landscape defined by small-scale mining and remote encampments, with the Southern Pacific railroad line and the Garlock Historical Marker indicating the area's significance as a supply and milling hub. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous canyons and gulches, including Last Chance Canyon, Goler Gulch, and Iron Canyon, many of which host specialized sites like the Burro Schmidt Tunnel and the Apache Mine. The distribution of scattered settlements such as Holland Camp, Colorado Camp, and Schmidt Camp reflects a transient yet persistent human presence tied to the extraction of resources from the surrounding peaks and the Black Hills to the northwest.
