1962 Map of Mt. Ellen

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mt Ellen Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in the early 1960s, where the Henry Mountains meet the expansive flats of the Upper Blue Hills. The map captures a transition from the mining activity at Bromide Mine and nearby Mine prospects to the remote ranching operations exemplified by the King Ranch. This era predates significant modern development in the region, showing the intricate network of water sources vital for survival in this environment, including Maiden Water Spring, Indian Water Seep, and McClellan Spring. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from Wildcat Mesa and Thompson Mesa down through deep drainages like Poison Wash and Dugout Wash, illustrating how the geological structure dictated the placement of early Jeep Trails and seasonal camps like Rock Corral.
