1947 Map of Osgood Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Mining operations and high-desert ranching define this mid-century landscape in the Osgood Mountains and Hot Springs Range. The survey documents a critical period for local industry, featuring the Getchell Mine, Riley Mine, and Mountain View Mine as focal points of activity. In the lowlands, the Humboldt River flows near the Western Pacific railroad tracks at the rail stop of Comus. Remote family holdings such as the Yribarne Bros Ranch, Frazier Ranch, and Hugh Bains Ranch are scattered across the terrain, connected by the Burma Road and various dirt tracks. Unique landmarks like the Stone Corral and Anderson Gardens appear alongside numerous springs, including Goughs Spring and Dalveda Spr, which sustained life in the arid Paradise Valley and Eden Valley.
