1955 Map of Adobe Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Adobe Mtn and the surrounding El Mirage Valley define this desert landscape along the border of Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties during the mid-1950s. The map captures a transition between the elevated peaks of the Shadow Mountains and the expansive dry basin of El Mirage Lake to the southeast. Sparse human activity is evident through a grid of desert roads such as Avenue G and El Mirage Road, punctuated by small-scale resource extraction noted simply as Prospects and scattered Wells. The presence of Eller Slough and a strategically placed Water Tank highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid High Desert environment. High points like Nash Hill and Gray Mtn provide essential landmarks for navigation across the open terrain before modern suburban expansion reached this portion of the Antelope Valley region.
