1963 Map of Pinto Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Mining operations and desert hydrology define this 1963 survey of the Pinto Basin and Eagle Mountains. Located within the boundaries of Joshua Tree National Monument, the landscape is marked by a high concentration of mineral prospects, including the Black Eagle Mine, Rusty Gold Mine, and the evocatively named Rainbows End Mine. These sites, alongside the Storm Jade Mine and Mystery Mine, illustrate a mid-century period when remote claims were still active or prominently documented in the California desert.
