1971 Map of Majuba Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mining operations and remote desert outposts define this 1971 survey of Pershing County. The landscape is dominated by the Majuba Mountains and the Antelope Range, where prospectors sought riches in the high desert. Evidence of mineral exploration is visible at the Majuba Hill Mine and the Last Chance Mine, while the Majuba Placers indicate historical alluvial mining activity in the flats to the southeast. Water remains the most critical resource for survival in this arid environment, marked by several essential points such as Willow Springs, Abel Spring, and Big Antelope Spring. A lonely set of Graves near a spring serves as a silent reminder of the harsh conditions faced by early residents and miners who traveled the primitive Jeep Trail network through Majuba Canyon.
