1955 Map of Shadow Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Silver Peak and the surrounding Shadow Mountains define this high desert landscape, which in the mid-1950s was a hub of small-scale mineral exploration and ranching. The map reveals an intensive history of prospecting, with numerous shafts, tunnels, and prospects scattered across the arid slopes, including named operations like the Rabbit Hole Mine and Princess Pat Mine. To the north, the presence of a Dolomite Plant suggests industrial mineral processing, while an Oil Derrick in the south points to diverse resource interests during this era.
