1985 Map of Owl Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Owlshead Mountains and the Quail Mountains converge in this high desert landscape within the Fort Irwin Military Reservation. Centered on the dry bed of Owl Lake, the area reveals a history of mineral exploration through features like the Black Magic Mine and the New Deal Mine located in the southern hills. The presence of Owl Hole Springs (Ruins) suggests the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment, providing a focal point for early desert travelers or miners. While human footprints are sparse, the terrain is marked by a network of unimproved tracks and a singular Road winding through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These topographic details, compiled from 1980 aerial photography, offer a precise record of mining prospects and natural landmarks before significant modern changes.
