This report focuses on the mining history of Death Valley National Monument. The mineral resources of the Death Valley area have been assessed and investigated ever since the days of the California Gold Rush. Extending over a period of at least 120 years, the fascinating and often complex mining history of the region has unfortunately been overshadowed by the much shorter but more romantic adventures experience by the Bennett-Arcane party and other groups of the ‘49ers who attempted to cross the valley floor on their way west to the goldfields. This historic structure study is the culmination of a two-year plus research project focusing on the mining history of Death Valley National Monument.
