1985 Map of Van Winkle Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Providence Mountains and Van Winkle Mountain dominate this desert landscape, where water sources dictated the patterns of human activity. The map identifies several vital watering points, including Van Winkle Spring, Quail Spring, and Arroweed Spring, which served as essential stops for travelers and miners in this arid environment. The area's extraction history is evidenced by the Providence Mine and Bighorn Mine, tucked into the high elevations. Transportation through the region relies on the crossing at Granite Pass, while the Pine Tree Ranch (Site) suggests earlier settlement along the northwestern slopes. Much of this terrain falls within the East Mojave National Scenic Area, illustrating a transition toward conservation in the late 20th century. The intricate contour lines around Hidden Hill and the Horse Hills provide a detailed study of the drainage patterns feeding into Clipper Valley.
