1972 Map of La Madre Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

La Madre Mountain dominates this portion of the Mojave Desert, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic geological transitions in the early 1970s. The survey illustrates the stark contrast between the high limestone ridges and the colorful formations of the Calico Hills and Sandstone Bluffs to the south. Critical water sources, essential for both wildlife and human activity in this arid environment, are meticulously noted, including White Rock Spring, Red Spring, and Ash Creek Spring. The emergence of modern recreation is evident through the marking of the Red Rock Scenic Drive and the Willow Spring Picnic Area, while the presence of a Quarry and various Prospect points hints at the area's mineral exploration. Features like Icebox Canyon and Brownstone Basin highlight the intricate drainage patterns that lead into the Red Rock Wash.
