1972 Map of La Madre Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

La Madre Mountain dominates this portion of the Mojave Desert, a high-elevation landscape defined by the sharp transition between the White Rock Hills and the striking formations of the Calico Hills. In the early 1970s, the area's geological and recreational character was already well-established, marked by the presence of a Sandstone Quarry and the winding Red Rock Scenic Drive. This terrain is a network of essential water sources in an arid environment, including Ash Creek Spring, Willow Spring, and Red Spring, which historically dictated movement through the canyons. The map also captures the Sandstone Bluffs and Icebox Canyon, providing a clear record of the access points and landmarks as they existed before significant regional development expanded from the Las Vegas valley to the east.
