1988 Map of Panamint

About this map

The settlement of Panamint and the surrounding mining claims dominate this high-elevation desert landscape in the late 1980s. This survey details the complex network of canyons and peaks that defined the local silver and gold mining era, documenting specific operations like the Wyoming Mine, Hemlock Mine, and World Beater Mine. The terrain is marked by steep grades rising from Surprise Canyon and Pleasant Canyon toward high points such as Sentinel Peak and Porter Peak, with various 4WD tracks providing the primary access through these remote mountain passes.
