1956 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Colorado River carves the eastern boundary of this mid-century desert landscape, where water infrastructure like Parker Dam and the Gene Wash Reservoir stands in sharp contrast to the arid reaches of the Devils Playground. The regional economy is defined by a dense concentration of mining activity, particularly in the Dale Mining District and around the Eagle Mountain Mine, alongside remote rail outposts like Siberia and Bagdad on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR.
