1986 Map of Lane Mountain

About this map

Lane Mountain dominates this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a prominent high point for communication infrastructure including a Radio Facility and Radio Tower. The terrain is defined by the stark intersection of the Mud Hills to the southwest and the Calico Mountains to the southeast. A network of 4wd tracks provides the primary access through this arid expanse, connecting numerous scattered prospects and unnamed mines that suggest a legacy of mineral exploration. Geologic and surveying markers like Pickhandle Pass and Jackhammer Gap highlight the complex topography, while the San Bernardino Meridian serves as a critical north-south baseline for the region's land management and cadastral history.
