About this map

Mining operations and arid drainage patterns characterize this 1980s landscape at the intersection of the Ivanpah Mountains and New York Mountains. Gold and silver seekers can trace the legacy of industrial extraction through the noted Morning Star Mine, Kewanee Mine, and Allured Mine, which are situated along the northern slopes. The area is dominated by the broad expanse of the Ivanpah Valley, where a complex network of Wash and Sand Washes indicates the seasonal movement of water through the desert floor. Infrastructure of the era is represented by a corridor of Steel Tower Power Lines and a system of Levee structures designed for water management. A rare reliable water source, Sacaton Spring, is tucked away in the southern mountainous terrain, providing a critical landmark for researchers of the local desert environment.
