1962 Map of White Mtn. Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

White Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, rising sharply from the desert floors of Hammil Valley and Chalfant Valley. The map highlights a unique intersection of scientific research, ancient history, and resource extraction, anchored by the White Mountain Research Sta Summit Laboratory atop the 14,000-foot peak. Lower elevations reveal a long human presence, from the Red Canyon Petroglyphs and other petroglyphs near Fish Slough to the scattered ranching operations at Harris Bros Ranch and Symons Ranch. An extensive network of infrastructure, including a prominent aqueduct and numerous quarries, cuts through the Volcanic Tableland. Mining activity is widespread, with named claims such as the Silver Reef Mine and the Copper Queen Mine suggesting the area's mineral importance during the mid-20th century.
