1955 Map of Lead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Bullion Mountains dominate this arid landscape in the mid-1950s, characterized by expansive Lava flows and volcanic terrain. The area is part of the Marine Corps Training Center, reflecting its strategic use as a desert military range during the Cold War era. Evidence of mineral exploration is sparse but present, notably at the War Eagle Mine and several unnamed Prospects in the northern ridges. Transportation is limited to a primitive network of a Trail and a Jeep Trail, indicating the isolated nature of this desert region. Survey control points like VABM Lead 2891 and VABM 1675 Sign mark the high peaks, while multiple bench marks such as BM 1476 and BM 1287 provide a precise record of the varying elevations across this Mojave landscape.
