About this map

The East Mojave National Scenic Area dominates this high-desert landscape in the mid-1980s, revealing a complex network of mining operations and isolated desert settlements. The Union Pacific railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting hubs like Kelso, Cima, and Ivanpah. The map illustrates a region defined by its industrial history, with numerous extraction sites such as the Morning Star Mine, Death Valley Mine, and Mohawk Mine dotting the mountain ranges. Significant topographic features like Cima Dome and the New York Mountains rise above the alluvial plains and dry lake beds. The historic Mojave Road traverses the terrain, following a path through Lanfair Valley and past vital water sources like Halloran Spring and Rainbow Wells, which were essential for desert passage before modern infrastructure.
