1912 Map of Randsburg

About this map

Randsburg and its neighboring mining camps are the focus of this detailed high-desert survey, documenting the region's intense industrial activity during the early twentieth century. The map highlights the significant operations at the Yellow Aster Mine and the broader mineral activity within the Stringer District. This era was defined by a critical infrastructure network, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe (Randsburg Branch) and the Southern Pacific railroads connected remote desert outposts to the wider economy.
