About this map

The Granite Wash Mountains and Harcuvar Mountains dominate this 1990 provisional survey, revealing a landscape defined by decades of mineral exploration. The southern portion of the map centers on the small settlement of Salome and the adjacent community of Harcovar, situated along the At & Sf Rr and the northern edge of the Mc Mullen Valley.

Hard-rock mining history is visible across the steep terrain, particularly near Salome Peak and Winchester Peak. Numerous named claims and workings are documented, including the Desert Queen Mine, True Blue Mine, and the descriptively named Glory Hole Mine Shaft. Beyond the mines, the map tracks the network of 4wd tracks and ephemeral drainages like Big Granite Wash and Calcite Wash that provided access to these remote desert prospects. The inclusion of the USLM Ada (220) survey marker and various Prospects further illustrates the intensity of land use during the region's mining eras.
