1917 Map of White Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

White Mountain Peak dominates the center of this high-altitude survey, which captures the complex trans-border geography of California and Nevada just before the 1920s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Volcanic Tableland to the west and the expansive Fish Lake Valley to the east. Transportation and industry are anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which connects several ranching outposts such as Benton Sta. and the Pellisier Ranch. The map reveals a robust mining presence with operations like the Queen Mine, Black Warrior Mine, and Sacramento Mine scattered throughout the canyons. Unique cultural markers, including the curiously named Porey Haired Johnnys Corral and the McNett School, provide evidence of the scattered but resilient homesteading and ranching life in this high-desert environment.
