1955 Map of Lead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Bullion Mountains topography dominates this mid-century survey of the California desert, capturing a landscape defined by volcanic geology and military activity. The area is marked by extensive Lava flows and rugged peaks, most notably at VABM 2891 Lead. The presence of the Marine Corps Training Center across the central portion of the map indicates the mid-century transition of these remote lands into strategic training grounds. Resource extraction history is anchored by the War Eagle Mine and several scattered Prospects in the northern ridges, reached only by a network of primitive tracks like the Jeep Trail. Survey markers such as VABM 1675 Sign and various bench marks provide precise points for researchers tracing historical land boundaries and mining claims in this arid corner of San Bernardino County.
