1955 Map of Morgans Well

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this high desert landscape within the Marine Corps Training Center. Grounded in a 1955 field check, the survey reveals a region defined by its isolation and its geologic resources. Near the northern boundary, evidence of early prospecting is visible at the Mina Shafts, a Mine Tunnel, and another unnamed Mine. These features suggest a period of mineral exploration that predates or coincides with the establishment of the military Reservation Boundary.
