1951 Map of Savahia Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Chemehuevi Valley dominates this arid landscape in eastern San Bernardino County, defined by the broad drainage of Chemehuevi Wash and the prominent heights of the Whipple Mountains. The map reveals a mid-century desert environment where localized mining activity concentrated near Savahia Peak. Prospectors and mining interests had established numerous claims across the rocky terrain, including the Gold Standard Mine, Bailey Mine, and the two Cascade Gold Mine sites. The mapping of Dollar Bill Mine and Bessie Mine as inactive suggests the waning era of small-scale extraction in these remote canyons. Beyond the mines, the presence of isolated Ruins and several Prospect sites near Pyramid Butte highlights the history of exploration and ephemeral settlement that characterized the Mojave's eastern reaches before further modern development.
