1953 Map of Topaz Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Spor Mountain and the Thomas Range anchor this high-desert landscape during the mid-century, a period when mineral exploration defined the Great Basin. The map details a network of mining activities and essential water sources, such as the Bell Hill Mine and the remote Black Boy Mine. The presence of the Joy (Site) and various Prospects throughout the Drum Mountains reflects the prospecting history of the region. Transportation is marked by the Sand Pass Road and a primitive Trail system that connects these distant peaks. Water, always critical in this arid terrain, is localized at Schoenburger Spring and Laird Spring, providing vital points for early travelers and miners navigating between Topaz Mountain and the Swasey Mountains.
