1952 Map of Mt Hillers

About this map

Mt Hillers and the Henry Mountains dominate this 1950s landscape, revealing a remote terrain defined by isolated water sources and early extraction efforts. The map captures an era when transportation through this portion of Garfield County relied on a rudimentary network of trails and unimproved dirt roads, with a remote Landing Strip serving as a vital link for the high desert interior. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Trachyte Ranch and small-scale operations like the Del Monte Mine.
