1917 Map of White Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

High-altitude peaks and early Great Basin industry dominate this landscape surveyed shortly before World War I. The towering presence of White Mountain Peak and Boundary Pk anchors the rugged border between California and Nevada, while the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the western valley, serving settlements like Benton Sta. and Chalfant. This era captures a transition from frontier mining to established ranching, evidenced by the numerous family-named holdings such as Taylor Ranch, McNett Ranch, and Maron Ranch.
