1989 Map of Goodsprings

About this map

Goodsprings serves as the focal point for this high-desert region, surrounded by an extensive network of mining operations that define its local economy and landscape. The terrain is marked by the Spring Mountains to the west and the Bird Spring Range to the east, with the Goodsprings Valley running between them. This map documents a high density of industrial sites, including the Yellow Pine Mine, Monte Cristo Mine, and the Prairie Flower Mine. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the hills, tracing the path of former ore transport. This level of detail provides an intricate look at the distribution of claims and shafts, such as the Ruth Mine and Houghton Mine, which are scattered among natural landmarks like Columbia Pass and Table Mountain.
