1970 Map of Mt. Wilson

About this map

Mount Wilson dominates the eastern high ground of this Lincoln County terrain, serving as a landmark for a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and early industry. The presence of Kilns and a Prospect suggests the localized mining and resource extraction that supported the region's scattered inhabitants during the mid-20th century. Numerous vital water points including Motley Spring, Eagle Spring, and Tottery Spring are mapped along the slopes leading down toward the broad expanse of Lake Valley. A series of interconnected routes, labeled as Jeep Trails, trace the path through Water Canyon and Hulse Canyon, reflecting the era's reliance on rugged transportation networks to reach high-altitude points like the Radio Tower and family-named landmarks such as Squaw Knoll.
