1956 Map of Shenandoah Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mining operations dominate the landscape of the eastern Spring Mountains during this mid-century survey of the Nevada-California borderlands. The rugged topography is etched with the names of high-altitude claims and industrial sites, including the Potosi Mine and the Keystone Mine. In the valley floor to the south, the settlement at Sandy and the Ripley (Site) represent the shifting centers of local habitation and resource extraction. Evidence of the area's logistical infrastructure is preserved through the Traction Road, a small Landing Field, and the Shenandoah Mill. The map also meticulously traces the Von Schmidt Line, marking the historical boundary between Clark Co. and San Bernardino Co., while family-named landmarks like the Singer Mine and McVicar Mine offer specific points of interest for genealogical research.
