1956 Map of Adelanto
USGS Topo · Published 1957About 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.
