1967 Map of Pamlico

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Mining operations and military reservations define this high-desert landscape in Mineral County during the late 1960s. The former settlement of Pamlico sits within the eponymous Pamlico Canyon, while the nearby La Panta serves as a reminder of the region's historical extraction efforts. The western edge of the map is dominated by the Naval Ammunition Depot, its boundary cutting through complex terrain. This map captures a specific transition in land use, where the gold and silver prospector's legacy, represented by dozens of named claims such as the Gold Bar Mine and Golden Eagle Mine, meets the strategic requirements of the Cold War era. Geologists and local historians can trace the network of unimproved roads and jeep trails that connect these isolated sites through deep drainages like Never Sweat Canyon and McGill Canyon.
