1955 Map of Mescal Range

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mountain Pass serves as a focal point for mining activity in the northeastern corner of the Mojave Desert during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by extensive mineral extraction, evidenced by the Sulphide Queen Mine, Mohawk Mine, and the Birthday Mine clustered near the Mohawk Hill and Clark Mtn Range. These workings highlight the region's industrial importance, while the isolated Cemetery near Valley Wells points to the human toll and longevity of these remote desert communities.
