1955 Map of Sunshine Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Pisgah Crater and extensive Lava flows dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where mineral exploration and military activities converged. The terrain is marked by significant mining ventures, including the Inerto Mine, National Lead Mine, and Silver Cliff Mine. These operations, along with numerous unnamed prospects, indicate a period of intense interest in the geological resources of the Lava Bed Mountains. Much of the southern and central portion of the map is occupied by the Marine Corps Training Center, while a Naval Reservation Boundary defines the northern reaches. The presence of Sunshine Peak and isolated water sources like the Spring near the Imperial Lode Mine highlight the challenges of this arid environment during the 1950s.
