About this map

The Salton Sea and its surrounding desert basins are documented here during a period of significant military and industrial activity. To the north, the Eagle Mountain Mine and numerous smaller operations like the Eldorado Mine and Golden Bee Mine dot the Pinto Mountains, while the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range (Naval) and Salton Sea Test Base (Naval) occupy vast swaths of the valley floor.
