1960 Map of Senator Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Mining operations and ranching infrastructure define this arid landscape within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area during the early 1960s. The topography is dominated by the high peaks of the Black Mountains, including Senator Mountain, Golden Rule Peak, and Squaw Peak, which overlook the broad expanse of the Detrital Valley to the west. Evidence of the region's mineral prospecting is found in the clusters of extraction sites such as the Senator Mine, Golden Rule Mine, and Fry Mine, along with the Owens Mine near the eastern boundary. Water management is critical in this desert environment, marked by features like North Senator Tank, South Senator Tank, and the Cyclopic Pumping Sta near Spear Ranch. A Pipeline and several Jeep Trails provide the primary means of navigating the terrain, connecting remote springs like Salt Spr and seasonal washes such as White Elephant Wash.
