1956 Map of Milligan

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The rugged Old Woman Mountains dominate the western portion of this 1950s survey, yielding to the broad expanse of Ward Valley and the dry bed of Danby Lake. This arid landscape was defined by industrial extraction and the logistics of the desert crossing, evidenced by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. At the edge of the lake, Salt Evaporators indicate local mining activity, while the small settlement of Milligan serves as a junction point on the rail line. To the north, the isolated Lucky Jim Mine and Black Metal Mine reflect the era's prospecting efforts. Reliable water sources like Sheep Camp Spring and Spring Wilhelm were critical landmarks for travelers and miners navigating the washes, such as Homer Wash and Browns Wash, which cut through the high desert terrain.
