1953 Map of Gold Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Gold Butte serves as the focal point for this high-desert region, situated at a junction of historical mining activity and remote transportation routes. The 1953 landscape is defined by the extraction of minerals at sites like the Tramp Mine, Lincoln Mine, and Vermiculite Mine, scattered across Tramp Ridge and the surrounding basins. To the east, the boundary between Clark and Mohave counties bisects the terrain, leading toward the waters of the Lake Mead National Recreational Area. Access through this arid environment followed established corridors such as the Scanlon Ferry Road, which once connected these uplands to the historic crossing at Scanlon Ferry. This survey documents a critical period before modern development, highlighting isolated features like a Landing Field near the settlement and various natural water sources such as Horse Spring and Granite Spring that supported local prospecting and ranching.
