USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mining operations and water sources define the interior of Joshua Tree National Monument during this mid-century survey. The landscape is marked by numerous claims including the Black Eagle Mine, Storm Jade Mine, and Rusty Gold Mine, indicating a period of active or recently active prospecting in the Eagle Mountains. These operations relied on a sparse network of water points such as Mission Wells, Sunrise Well, and the Black Eagle Well, which were critical for survival in the arid Pinto Basin.
