1956 Map of Iron Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Infrastructure for the transport of water and freight dominates this 1950s landscape within the Mojave Desert. The Colorado River Aqueduct is the central engineering marvel shown, featuring the Iron Mountain Pumping Plant and a series of complex structures including the West Iron Portal, a siphon, and tunnels through the Iron Mountains. These features reflect California's mid-century push for water security through the Director of Water Resources.
