1953 Map of Quartz Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate this 1953 landscape, a desert region defined by its reliance on scarce water sources and its mining history. Remote outposts like Imperial Gables and Midway Well provide some of the few named human markers in an area characterized by dry washes such as Vinagre Wash and Gables Wash. Mining activity is evident throughout the southern and central sections, including the Paymaster Mine, Rainbow Mine, and the Gold Basin Rand Mine.
