1986 Map of The Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Buttes dominate the center of this high desert terrain in San Bernardino County, where the stark topography of the Mojave is meticulously recorded. Mapping efforts by the Geological Survey in the mid-1980s emphasize the geological and extractive character of this arid landscape, highlighting numerous Prospects and individual Prospect sites scattered across the hillsides and ridge lines. These markers indicate a history of mineral exploration and small-scale mining operations that defined the local economy and land use during this era. Low-lying areas are characterized by several Dry Lake beds, which serve as natural drainage basins for the surrounding elevations. The map provides a precise look at the township and range survey lines, including the intersections of T 32 S T 12 N and R 42 E R 43 E, which are essential for property research and historical land tracking.
