About this map

Mining operations and remote desert outposts define this mid-century look at the San Bernardino high desert. Evidence of extraction is scattered across the Newberry Mountains and Granite Mts, with named claims like the Gold Belt Mine, Anits Mine, and the Maumee Mine indicating a landscape heavily prospected for minerals. The arid terrain of Stoddard Valley and Lucerne Valley is punctuated by vital water sources such as Sweetwater Spr and Aztec Spring, which served as critical landmarks for travelers and miners alike.
