1970 Map of Turtle Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Bell Mountain anchors the southern portion of this high desert landscape, serving as a landmark for the small settlement that shares its name. The terrain is defined by dry drainage systems including Wild Wash and Bell Mountain Wash, which carve through the Brisbane Valley and Turtle Valley. This map, updated from aerial photography in the late 1960s and again in 1989, reveals a region heavily shaped by resource extraction and transportation. Numerous labels for Prospects and Mine are scattered across the slopes of Turtle Mountain and near Stoddard Mtn, indicating a history of prospecting. Infrastructure like the Pipeline and a network of desert routes such as Mission Road and Stoddard Well Road illustrate how this Mojave landscape was navigated for utility and exploration during the late twentieth century.
