Mine Documentation in the Standard Mining District, Mojave National Preserve, California

Summary

During May of 2002, ten mining properties and one residential camp were recorded in the Standard Mining District at Mojave National Preserve. These properties, which date from the late 1800s to recent decades,

include abundant mining features and, in many instances, detritus from associated mining camps. Field analyses of artifacts, in conjunction with extensive archival research, provide chronologies of mine use and

insights into mining life in this remote area. The information obtained from this work was used to formulate management recommendations and determinations of eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places

(NRHP) for the properties recorded.
