1954 Map of Mt. Tom

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tungsten Hills and the high Sierra slopes define this mid-century landscape of heavy industry and high-altitude mining. During the late 1940s and 1950s, this region was a critical center for mineral extraction, anchored by the Pine Creek Mine and the specialized Pine Creek Tungsten Mill. The map reveals an intricate network of specialized operations such as the Pine Creek Mine-Zero Adit, the Tungstar Mine, and the Aeroplane Mine in Deep Canyon. These industrial sites are juxtaposed with the company-town character of Scheelite and Rovana, which housed the workforce needed to extract ore from the granite peaks.
