Snowcap Limestone Mine

Photograph taken April 22, 2008.

Omya (California) operates the Amboy Limestone quarry located 6 miles east of Amboy, California, in the southern Bristol Mountains. The Amboy Limestone deposit, a very high purity, high brightness (white) crystalline limestone deposit is of such high purity it is suitable for pharmaceutical and food grade limestone applications, and can be utilized in products for human consumption. The limstone is mined from an extensive dip slope of Mississippian age Monte Cristo Limestone, Bullion Member, up to 300 feet thick, and 1500 feet long. Current mine life is 55 years, plus reclamation phases for a total operation life of 70 years. The current Phase 1 quarry development occurs in an area of about 10 acres. The ultimate quary will cover approximately 50 acres.

Barnwell

Barnwell

Photograph taken in June, 2000.

Originally the headquarters of the Briggs and Murphy Ranch. Joined with other ranches into the Rock Springs Land and Cattle Company in 1894.

The site of Barnwell was reached by the Nevada Southern Railway in 1893. At that time the site was named Manvel for the current president of the Santa Fe railroad.

The railroad was reorganized as the California Eastern Railway in 1895, and the branch line to Searchlight built in 1906-1907.

The name of this site was changed to Barnwell in 1907, named for a telegraph operator stationed there by the railroad company.

Black Canyon Road

Black Canyon Road, looking north from near Gold Valley Ranch.

The low gray shrubs are Blackbrush (Coleogyne ramosissima>) and the large green shrubs are Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma). This photograph was taken from a location about 50 meters north of the cows as seen in the photograph below. At first glance the vegetation might be classified as "pristine," as indeed much of the Mid Hills vegetation has been characterized. However, on closer examination there are many signs of usage by cattle, and it becomes impossible to know what the native vegetation might have been at this site.

This often photographed rock formation in Caruthers Canyon, was also photographed by Annie Alexander and placed in her notebook with the notation of Fourth of July Canyon.

The Cross on Kessler Springs Road -- Covered this time.

Photograph taken April 21, 2004.

When I passed by the cross on April 21, 2004, it was covered by the cardboard box, as shown. Someone has scrawled markings that look faintly religious on the box. Despite news reports that the cross is covered by a heavy tarp, it has been several years since I have seen the tarp.

I passed by the cross again on Sunday, May 22, 2004. This time there was no covering for the cross.

Meanwhile, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, released a ruling on June 8, 2004, that the cross violated the Establishment clause.

In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2004, Rep. Jerry Lewis (R- San Bernardino) was able to insert a clause requiring the Department of Interior to transfer the property to private owners. The court, however, said that the transfer may take several years, and therefore the case is not moot.

All this caused by a single retired Park Service employee, who in fact claims to be religious.

Columbia Mountain as seen from the Blue Rock Mine in Macedonia Canyon.

At the very top of Columbia Mountain is an excellent example of supergene enrichment of copper ores. The idea behind supergene enrichment goes something like this. In the beginning there was a small amount of copper mineralization in the ore vein. As the mountain eroded away, the copper minerals were dissolved and then redeposited a few feet deeper in the vein. As a result the copper vein at the surface looks to be very rich. But just a few feet below the surface there is very little copper. Someone built a road to the top of Columbia Mountain, and dug some exploratory trenches in rich copper veins right on the very top of the mountain. However as soon as they got a few feet down, the vein was not rich enough to continue digging.

From time to time since 1929, the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Co. has explored a deposit of clay half a mile south of the Hart Consolidated mine (no. 129, pl. 2) on the south end of a ridge that extends south from Castle Mountains. in 1929, there was a tunnel 200 feet long from which a large chamber to the surface has been opened. It has recently been mined. The nearly pure white clay represents rhyolite tuff in the section of flows and tuffs of middle Tertiary age that have been altered by hydrothermal action (Hewett, 1956, pg. 163).

Kokoweef Peak forms the backdrop for a discussion of the regional significance of the Aztec Sandstone

Photograph taken April 21, 2001 during the field trip of the 2001 Desert Research Symposium.

The peak of Kokoweef Peak is formed of Goodsprings Dolomite. The outcrop is bounded by the Clark Mountain Fault and extends to the southeast into the Ivanpah Valley. Flanking the north and west of Kokoweef Peak is a series of progressively younger rocks, beginning with the Sultan Limestone and ending with the Aztec Sandstone, upon which this field trip group is standing.

It was at Ledge that miners directed Annie Alexander and Louise Kellogg to the south side of the New York Mountains in 1940 because the road to Keystone Canyon was washed out.

Juniper singed in the lower branches.

Photograph taken October 15, 2005.

In the valley of Lobo Point, there is an informal campground. This is the location that Merritt College camped for many years. There is an old, scarred Juniper here. It's been shot, sawed, axed, and had every other manner insult. My contribution has been to eat lunch here at least once in every trip to the eastern Mojave, and to sit in the shade while enjoying the view of Lobo Point. I also confess to saving up the saving up the melt water in the cooler, and draining it somewhere in the drip line of the Juniper.

After all the other insults, the Juniper was only singed on the lower branches by the Hackberry Complex fire, and it looks as though the tree may survive yet another insult.

Panorama showing burned and unburned areas in the Valley of Lobo Point.

Photograph taken October 15, 2005.

In the Lobo Point campground there was one Pinyon that was perhaps 3-4 feet tall when I first camped there in 1980. Over the years, it grew to more than 12 feet tall. However, it looks too badly burned to survive. This would be in the extreme right of the photograph link a left. Panning to the left, though, one can see a Juniper that is scorched and brown on one side, but not burned. Then an Antelope Bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC ssp. glandulosa (Curran) M. E. Jones), a Box Thorn (Lycium cooperi A. Gray), and finally a large Pinyon (Pinus monophylla Torrey & Fremont) that did not burn. These plants should provide seed to re-establish the vegetation in this little valley.

Looking northeast toward Little Thorn Mountains from Lobo Point

Photograph taken October 15, 2005 near Lobo Point, Mojave National Preserve.

Looking northeast from the slopes of Lobo Point toward Gold Valley Mine, one could see numerous Junipers and a few Pinyons that did not burn, especially in the low places along washes.

In the middle ground, there are two Junipers that did not burn. These two Junipers were in a "parking lot" used when Merritt College camped here. Consequently, there were no shrubs around the Junipers to sustain the fire.

Photograph taken 21 April 2005.

I have climbed to the summit of this portion of the Mesquite Mountains as shown in the left background. A direct approach to this summit would lead one into some pretty rough climbing. Instead, I would recommend following an old road east as far as it leads to a saddle overlooking the Mesquite Valley, then turning north, climbing a ridge line, but staying a little to the east, to avoid the cliffs.

Looking west into California and the Mesquite Mountains.

This photo was taken from the approximate center of Mesquite Valley.

Mesquite Valley is a small structural basin bounded by the southern Spring Range on the east, the Clark Mountain Range on the south, and the Mesquite Mountains on the west. The lowest elevation is about 774 m.

Pahrump Valley to the north is about three times larger than Mesquite Valley. Black Butte appears to be a natural structural divide between the two valleys.

CAMP ROCK SPRING
To the United States soldiers of Camp Rock Spring — Who guarded the U. S. Mail.
No glory there, nor much chance for military fame, but true patriots and heroes were they to submit to such privations — Yet these are the nurseries of the Army, and from such hard schools we graduated a Grant and Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas.

Rock Spring

Rock Spring is in an un-named wash that that drains Round Valley. As the wash comes through the granite, the water is forced to the surface, making Rock Spring one of the more reliable springs in the eastern Mojave. Rock Spring empties into Watson Wash which can be seen in the distance.

Pinto Mountain across Round Valley as seen from Black Canyon Road.

The gray shrubs are Basin Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and the large green shrubs are Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma). Pinto Mountain is composed of Hole-in-the-Wall Tuff, Winkler Formation, and Peach Springs Tuff. In the loose rock at the base of Pinto Mountain are boulders of gneiss and schist. That would indicate to me that the basement rock under Pinto Mountain is at or very near the surface.

Table Top.

The flat-topped mountain to the east of Black Canyon Road is Table Top. Geologic reports note that the Table Top is granite, topped by a quartz latite lava flow. The top surface is flat as it appears to be from the road. For most of its flat top, the vegetation consists of only two species, Basin Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma).

Wild Horse Canyon Trailhead

At the south end of Wild Horse Canyon is a formal trailhead for a trail that goes north approximately 10 km to Mid Hills campground. The trail was always there, what has changed is the formal designation as a "trail." I guess we need trails since it's a national park. I just think there are some better places to mark and build trails.

View across Wild Horse Canyon

Photograph taken May 29, 2008.

I have seen some collections made in Wild Horse Canyon, that gave an ecological association of "Joshua tree woodland." However, I don't think I have ever seen Joshua trees in Wild Horse Canyon. I contacted the collector who was quite certain that there were Joshua trees in the area, but that they were not recovering well from the 2005 Hackberry Complex fire. So I went to the location of the collections, as given in geographic coordinates, and searched for Joshua trees. The location is shown in the photograph at left. I searched both sides of the road, across the wash and up on the benches on either side of the wash. I did not find Joshua trees. I did find burned stumps and sprouts of Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) and Mohave Yucca (Y. schidigera), but not Joshua trees (Y. brevifolia). I'm not saying the Joshua trees aren't there. I'm just saying that I could not find them.

You might wonder, of course, what difference does it make? In my observation, Joshua trees occur on the northwest side of the Mid Hills ridge. They also are found on the ridge line. However, Joshua trees are not found on the southeast side of the Mid Hills ridge, until one reaches the higher elevations of Pinto Valley.

I want to hypothesize that the Mid Hills ridge creates a small orographic precipation increase on the side from which winter storms come, the northwest side. The ridge also casts a small rain shadow on the lee side, the southeast side. The orographic effect and rain shadow are enough to affect Joshua tree distribution in this area. If there are Joshua trees in Wild Horse Canyon, then they provide a counter-example to my hypothesis.

Willow Well.

Willow Well on Wild Horse Mesa Road is one of many wells dug and maintained by cattle ranchers in the eastern Mojave. The "willow" is actually Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) a member of the tropical family Bignoniaceae (Catalpa Family). When this picture was taken, March 1998, the willows were still dormant and so they are the large gray shrubs around the tank. At an elevation of 1475 m, Willow Well is about the highest elevation I have observed the Desert Willow to grow. The boulders in the foreground are Precambrian gneiss.
