USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Black Mountains and the southern reaches of the Greenwater Range dominate this desert landscape, where mineral exploration defines the human imprint. Mining claims are scattered throughout the peaks, including the American Mine, Paddy Pride Mine, and the Ibex Mine near the National Monument Boundary. These sites, connected by primitive tracks and washes like Confidence Wash and Rhodes Wash, represent a period of intense prospecting in the harsh terrain bordering Death Valley National Monument.
