1955 Map of Lead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the California desert, capturing a landscape defined by volcanic geology and mining activity. Remnants of the region's extraction history are documented at the War Eagle Mine and Ametica Mine, alongside scattered prospects found in the northern heights near Lead Mountain. The topography is marked by extensive deposits of lava and the arid expanse of Bristol Lake to the northeast. Human presence is sparse, characterized primarily by isolated infrastructure like the Dry Well and an intricate network of jeep trails. Large portions of the terrain fall within the Naval Reservation Boundary, reflecting the area's mid-century role as a military testing ground. To the south, the Cleghorn Lakes and Cleghorn Pass provide key geographical landmarks amidst the high peaks of Bullion and Bullion East.
