The site of Kaiser Steel Eagle Mountain Mine, which was one of the largest open-pit iron mining operations in the world at the time of opening, is located about 13 miles (21 km) north of Desert Center. The rich iron ore deposit was discovered by geologists employed by Henry J. Kaiser during construction of the Colorado River Aqueduct in the early 1930s.


The Eagle Mountain Mine operated at capacity from World War II until Kaiser closed the mine and the town of Eagle Mountain in early 1982. Movies & TV shows have used the mine as a filming location, including scenes from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day—first Terminator movie in 3-D. A for-profit prison was operated by Utah's Management and Training Corporation here in facilities leased from Kaiser Steel.


Nine weeks before it was closed on December 31, 2003, a race riot claimed the lives of two black prisoners. Plans for a project to operate an enormous waste management landfill at the mine site were stopped by environmentalists' legal actions taken to protect the surrounding Colorado Desert ecosystem and the groundwater aquifer.
