1987 Map of Lees Camp
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Lees Camp stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape on the edge of the Amargosa Desert and the Funeral Mountains. The area is defined by the Death Valley National Monument and the historic Von Schmidt Line (1873) marking the Nevada California Boundary. The map records an extensive history of mineral exploration, dotted with numerous prospects and a Gravel Pit. Notable for researchers of regional history is the location of Schwaub (Site) in the southern portion, near the rugged descent into Echo Canyon. The presence of the Old Rd Grade and multiple boundary monuments, including NPS Bdy Mon 98 and Usmm 138, illustrates the legacy of surveying and infrastructure in this arid corridor where Nye and Inyo counties meet.
