2018 Map of Roosevelt Mine

About this map

The Roosevelt Mine stands as a focal point in this 2018 survey of the Colorado Desert, positioned at the southern edge of the Mule Mountains. The landscape is defined by vast alluvial basins and arid uplands, with the Chuckwalla Valley extending across the central portion and the Palo Verde Mesa rising to the east. Transportation and infrastructure follow the contours of the terrain and historical routes, including the Bradshaw Trl, a path with deep roots in regional mining and stagecoach history. To the north, the McCoy Mountains and the distinctive Black Rock landmark overlook a corridor of utility development along Gas Line Rd. This map captures a transition point between natural desert formations and the industrial markers of extraction and passage, such as the Gravel Pit Rd, reflecting the modern character of this Riverside County landscape.
