The mining history of the Argus Range is preserved in this early 1980s record of eastern California, where numerous claims and extraction sites dot the steep drainages leading into the Panamint Valley. Historically significant operations like the Modoc Mine, Minnietta Mine, and Defense Mine cluster around Lookout Mountain, while the ghost of a former silver camp is found at Lookout City (Site). These names recall a specialized desert industry dependent on vital water sources such as Jack Gunn Spring and Thompson Spring.
