1953 Map of Muddy Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Industrial extraction and desert preservation meet in this mid-century survey of Clark County. The American Borax Co Mines and Colorock Quarry anchor the local economy within the White Basin, while the establishment of Valley of Fire State Park highlights the transition toward recreation. The terrain is defined by the massive Muddy Mountains and Bitter Ridge, separated by arid washes like Callville Wash and Magnesite Wash. Transportation through this desert environment is recorded via the historic Arrowhead Trail and Borax Road. Notable landmarks include the prehistoric context of Atlatl Rock and the geologic formations of the Fire Alcove and Buffington Pockets, providing a clear record of the area before modern regional development intensified.
