1964 Map of Kingston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Kingston Range dominates this mid-century topographic study, a landscape defined by the search for mineral wealth and the critical location of water in the high desert. Industrial efforts are scattered throughout the arid terrain, represented by the Eastern Star Mine and the Shadow Mtn Mine, alongside various unnamed shafts and prospects. These sites suggest a legacy of small-scale prospecting and extraction typical of the region's mining history. The importance of reliable water sources for survival and industry is evident in the marking of Kingston Spring, Shadow Mountain Spring, and the curiously named Coyote Holes. Below the granite heights of Kingston Peak, the wide desert floor of Valjean Valley and the course of Kingston Wash illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this San Bernardino County wilderness.
