Eagle Mountain Mine
|
|
| A shut-down Kaiser iron mine, that once provided ore to Kaiser's Fontana steel works. A suburban-looking development, with over 100 houses built to house mine workers and their families, is virtually abandoned, making Eagle Mountain one of the more recently-formed ghost towns. There is also a minimum security prison occupying some of the town's structures. The Eagle Mountain mine is one of three sites being considered for a "megafill" landfill site for Los Angeles (the others are the Mesquite Regional Landfill, near Glamis, and Bristol Dry Lake, near Amboy). |
