1950 Map of Ubehebe Peak

About this map

Ubehebe Mine and a network of high-altitude claims define this mid-century survey of the California desert. The landscape is dominated by extreme topographical shifts, from the Saline Valley (Depression) in the west to the flat expanse of The Racetrack, where the geological feature known as The Grandstand rises from the valley floor. The map records a transition in land use within the Death Valley National Monument, documenting the persistence of mining operations like the Lippincott Lead Mine and the Sally Ann Mine alongside the early establishment of monument boundaries.
