1967 Map of Garlock

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Garlock stands as a focal point at the southern edge of the El Paso Mountains, where the desert terrain meets the Fremont Valley. This 1967 survey documents a landscape defined by its mining heritage and transit history, featuring the Southern Pacific railroad line and an Old RR Grade that traces earlier industrial movements. The presence of the Garlock Historical Marker near a cluster of wells and ruins indicates the area's recognized significance even during the mid-century. High in the hills and canyons, numerous extraction sites and temporary settlements are recorded, including Burro Schmidts Tunnel, the Apache Mine, and remote outposts like Holland Camp and Schmidt Camp. These features, connected by a network of jeep trails and canyons like Last Chance Canyon and Mesquite Canyon, reveal the persistent effort to tap into the mineral wealth of the Black Hills and surrounding gulches.
