1943 Map of Saltdale

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Cantil Valley and the El Paso Mountains dominate this 1943 survey, revealing a landscape defined by desert industry and early 20th-century extraction. At the heart of the basin, Koehn Dry Lake is surrounded by specialized rail stops and mining camps, including the salt-harvesting settlement of Saltdale and the Gypsite siding. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the valley floor, connecting remote outposts like Cantil and Garlock Sta to the broader regional economy.
