1956 Map of Adelanto

About this map

George Air Force Base dominates the northeastern corner of this High Desert landscape, its runways and hangars clearly delineated just as the facility was expanding into a major Tactical Air Command installation. The town of Adelanto sits just south of the base, organized in a crisp grid that includes Bartlet Ave and Duchess Ave, contrasting with the more dispersed desert settlements nearby. This 1956 survey records a network of established thoroughfares like El Mirage Road and Palmdale Road that supported the region's agricultural and military growth.
