1981 Map of Salinas Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape in Sierra County, reflecting the area's mid-century transition from remote mining and ranching to a restricted military testing ground. The high-desert terrain is marked by the presence of the Salinas Mine and White Mine, which sit tucked into the canyons near White Mine Peak. This 1981 record captures the topography before modern satellite mapping, documenting essential water sources for the region such as Sweetwater Spring, Dolan Spring, and Indian Wells. The rugged geography is defined by steep relief, including the prominent Salinas Peak and the unique formation of Silver Top Mountain. A network of unpaved tracks and jeep trails connects these remote locations, winding through Cottonwood Canyon and along Good Fortune Creek.
