1912 Map of Ivanpah

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Mining operations and early twentieth-century rail lines define this desert landscape crossing the California and Nevada border. The San Pedro Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR serves as a central artery through the Ivanpah Valley, connecting settlements like Jean, Nipton, and Kelso. To the east, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR branches toward mining centers such as Vanderbilt and Barnwell. Significant industrial activity is evident in the Spring Mountain Range and McCullough Range, where deep-earth works like the Keystone Mine, Yellow Pine Mine, and the Potosi Mine were established. The presence of an Abandoned Well and a Copper Smelter (Abandoned) near Valley Wells suggests the shifting fortunes of the region's extraction economy. For travelers and stock, critical water stops are identified at Marl Spr, Stump Spr, and Cottonwood Spring.
