1972 Map of Myndus

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks cross this high desert landscape, connecting the small settlements of Myndus and Akela in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the level basin floor to the steep eastern slopes of the Good Sight Mountains. Water management is the primary marker of human activity here, evidenced by a wide-reaching network of named wells including Steam Pump Well, Hannigan Well, and Plank Well, which supported local livestock and small holdings like Simpson Ranch.
