1961 Map of Lone Mtn

About this map

The high-desert mining and transport landscape of Big Smoky Valley is documented here during the early 1960s, revealing a region defined by its industrial transit and water sources. The settlement of Millers sits prominently along the Old Railroad Grade, a corridor that once served the booming silver and gold districts of the era. Evidence of the region's mineral processing is found in features like the Tailings Pond and Gravel Pits, while the natural topography is marked by the San Antonio Mountains and the distinct Crescent Dunes. Water, a critical resource in this arid environment, is captured at Montezuma Wells and Willow Spring. The map also preserves local history through the notation of a Cem and Graves near the rail corridor, providing specific points of interest for genealogists studying the families that worked these desert outposts.
