1956 Map of Old Dad Mountain

About this map

Old Dad Mtn dominates this high-desert landscape in the mid-1950s, a region defined by dramatic geological shifts and isolated mining operations. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the vast Devils Playground and the Kelso Dunes, where the arid terrain meets the Union Pacific rail line at the small settlement of Sands. This transportation corridor provided critical access to the remote interior, supporting the small-scale mineral extraction seen throughout the hills.
