1985 Map of Owl Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Owl Lake dry bed and the high ridges of the Owlshead Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the mid-1980s. A significant portion of the terrain is occupied by the Fort Irwin Military Reservation, with the southern extent marked by the Quail Mountains. The map documents a sparse but industrious mining history, evidenced by the Black Magic Mine and New Deal Mine located within the mountain passes, along with several unnamed prospects. Remote transportation and water sources are vital here, with the Owl Hole Springs Road leading to the critical Owl Hole Springs. The inclusion of the Owl Hole Springs Ruins provides a specific point of interest for researchers tracking early desert habitation and the infrastructure that once supported travelers and miners in this arid environment.
