1948 Map of Quail Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Abandoned Monorail cutting across the northern reaches of this terrain serves as a fascinating marker of mid-century industrial experimentation in the California desert. Surveyed in 1948, this sheet documents the intersection of three major ranges: the Owlshead Mountains, Quatl Mountains, and Granite Mountains. The landscape is defined by its arid isolation, where life and travel are dictated by the location of remote water sources like Hidden Spring, Quail Spring, and Myrick Spring.
