1983 Map of Mescal Range

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mountain Pass serves as a focal point for activity along the northern reach of this desert survey, where mining operations and local water sources defined the human footprint in the early 1980s. The landscape is dominated by the Mescal Range and the Clark Mountain Range, with the broad expanse of Shadow Valley to the west. A heavy emphasis on extraction is evident through numerous named sites such as the Birthday Mine, Mohawk Mine, and the Blue Buzzard Mine. These industrial nodes are supported by critical water points in an arid environment, including Mexican Well and the Hardrock Queen Spring. To the south, Striped Mountain rises above Rogers Camp, illustrating a rugged topography where narrow 4WD tracks and washes like Wheaton Wash provide the primary means of navigating between these isolated work sites and settlements.
