1967 Map of Klinker Mountain

About this map

The Lava Mountains and the Summit Range dominate this desert landscape, characterized by isolated water sources and industrial infrastructure in the mid-1960s. Mining activity is prevalent throughout the northwestern sector, where numerous Mines and a Gravel Pit appear alongside the Southern Pacific railroad line and Searles Station. Evidence of early human presence is documented by Petroglyphs located near the southern peaks, while the more modern needs of the region are reflected in the prominent Aqueduct, Pipeline, and the north-south route of Trona Road. Water management in this arid terrain is further highlighted by a network of named points such as Mountain Well, Skilling Well, Dry Well, and Steam Well scattered across the lower elevations near Red Mountain.
