1955 Map of Rodman Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Rodman Mountains dominate this mid-century high desert landscape, characterized by extensive volcanic activity evidenced by wide stretches of Lava and the prominent Red Hill. This 1950s survey documents a region defined by its isolation and mineral potential, with numerous extractive sites scattered across the terrain, including the Silver Bell Mine, Camp Rock Mine, and the Bessemer Mine. To the north, Kane Springs and Kane Wash provide critical desert hydrology, while the presence of Indian Petroglyphs points to the deep human history of the basin. The map also captures the early footprints of military and aviation infrastructure in the region, noting a Landing Field near the Iron Ridge and the edge of the Marine Corps Training Center. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversal through the Upper Johnson Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Newberry Mts.
