1961 Map of Lone Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mining operations and remote desert outposts characterize this arid landscape between the Harcuahala Mts and the Big Horn Mountains in the early 1960s. The northern reaches are dotted with historical extraction sites like the Socorro Mine, Alaska Mine, and Lions Den Mine, illustrating the intense prospecting effort in this pocket of Arizona. At the center of the sheet, the expansive Harquahala Plain transitions into Adobe Flats, where survival relied on a network of isolated water sources such as Government Well and Lone Mountain Well. Transportation through this territory is defined by the Buckeye Salome Road and various jeep trails, which connect the desert floor to the foothills of the Eagletail Mts. The presence of a Pipeline and scattered Ruins speaks to the region's industrial utility and sporadic human habitation across the Yuma and Maricopa county lines.
