1956 Map of Halloran Spring

About this map

Turquoise Mountain and the surrounding desert peaks dominate this mid-century look at San Bernardino County, where the infrastructure of mining and early highway travel define the landscape. The sheet documents a significant collection of mineral claims, from the Turquoise Mining Area and Yucca Mine in the north to the Great Wanamingo Mine and Telegraph Mine further east. These sites are linked by the desert route of 91 and 466, which passes through small outposts like Yucca Grove and Cree Camp.
