1955 Map of Lead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where mineral extraction and military training intersect. Surveyed during the mid-1950s, the terrain is marked by significant mining sites including the War Eagle Mine and the American Mine, alongside various Prospects scattered through the north. This period captures the region as it was integrated into the Marine Corps Naval Reservation, a transition that reshaped land use in this part of the Mojave. The arid environment is defined by its seasonal hydrology, featuring the expansive Bristol Lake, the Dry Lake to the north, and the isolated Cleghorn Lakes in the south. High points such as Lead Mountain and Bullion East provide topographic anchors for a region where water sources like Dry Well were critical for those navigating the Cleghorn Pass.
