1967 Map of Saltdale NW

About this map

Mining operations and arid land infrastructure dominate this 1967 survey of the High Desert. The El Paso Mountains and Red Buttes provide a backdrop for specialized extraction efforts, most notably the Cudahys Old Dutch Cleanser Mine and the Burro Schmidt Tunnel. These sites, along with the Copper Basin Mine, reflect the mid-century industrial footprint in a landscape defined by deep drainages like Last Chance Canyon and Bonanza Gulch.
