1971 Map of Vidal

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Vidal sits at the northern edge of this arid landscape, serving as a railroad junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line cuts through the Vidal Valley. The map reveals a high concentration of mining activity concentrated in the rugged Riverside Mountains and the West Riverside Mountains. Prospectors and historians can trace numerous specific operations, such as the Gold Dollar Mine, Calzona Mine, and the Alice Mine. This 1970s survey illustrates a region defined by its isolation and industry, where transportation was dominated by the Jeep Trail network and the legacy of the Old Blythe Road. Along the eastern margin, the Colorado River serves as a critical boundary, while landmarks like Holly Cem and the Landing Strip near town provide vital points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
