1988 Map of Mt. Barrow

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Chocolate Mountains dominates this desert landscape in Imperial County, where military activity and mining history intersect. The map records the Naval Reservation Boundary and an extensive Gunnery Range that spans much of the western terrain. These designations reflect the strategic use of this arid region in the late 20th century, contrasting with the scattered evidence of early industrial efforts. Evidence of mineral exploration is seen at the Paymaster Mine and various Prospects throughout the range. Topographical landmarks like Sawtooth Mountain and Mt Barrow provide the high points of this surveyed area, while the low-lying Ninemile Wash cuts through the southern reaches. The settlement of Imperial Gables sits at the edge of this transition, providing a small human footprint in a region primarily defined by military training and geological survey work.
