1982 Map of Ord Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Ord Mountains dominate this high desert landscape within San Bernardino County, where a network of primitive roads and four-wheel-drive trails connects isolated mining claims and water sources. The map reveals an environment defined by resource extraction and survival, centered on the Maumee Mine and several unnamed mines scattered across the slopes of East Ord Mountain. Reliable water sources were clearly vital for the prospectors and ranchers who worked this area, evidenced by the presence of Aztec Spring, Sweetwater Spring, and Willow Spring, alongside improvements like Wills Well and a Corral. To the west, the basin of Tyler Valley descends toward Ericksen Dry Lake, while the northeastern corner transitions into the Newberry Mountains and Rodman Mountains. Modern infrastructure is represented by a Radio Facility perched on a high ridge, highlighting the area's role in regional communication networks during the early 1980s.
