About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where a legacy of mining and military training intersect. Several historical extraction sites are documented across the terrain, including the Paymaster Mine, the Old Channel Mine Shaft, and the Gold Basin Rand Mine near Naval Glamis. The presence of the Naval Aerial Gunnery Range highlights the area's strategic use during the post-war era.
