1912 Map of Randsburg

Water is a precious commodity across the Mohave Desert, evidenced by the carefully marked City Well, Old Wells, and the notably labeled Blackhawk Well (Poor water). The topography is defined by the steep rises of Red Mountain and the Lava Mountains, while smaller operations like Summit Diggings and Teagle are scattered along the canyons of Hardcash Gulch and Fiddler Gulch. This map illustrates the intersection of early 20th-century transportation and geology in the Kern and San Bernardino county borderlands.
