1956 Map of Victorville NW

About this map

Shadow Mountains and the Shadow Hills dominate this high desert landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is marked by significant extractive history, primarily centered on the Red Raven Mine and the nearby Raven Mine. A dense concentration of Shafts, Prospect sites, and a Pit indicate a period of active exploration and small-scale operations across the terrain. Drainage across the alluvial fan is defined by the wandering path of Fremont Wash, which cuts through the arid plains. Transportation is limited to a few established routes such as Helendale Road and various unnamed tracks and a Jeep Trail that provided access to remote mining claims. This map captures the industrial and geological character of the Mojave landscape before modern expansion, where desert survival depended on the scattered Well and Wells noted throughout the flats.
