1948 Map of Alvord Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Alvord Mountain dominates this High Desert landscape, serving as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of San Bernardino County. In the late 1940s, the terrain was defined by the intersection of military activity and isolated desert industry, most notably at the Alvord Mine and the sprawling Camp Irwin Military Reservation. Sparse water sources were the lifeblood of the region, anchored by Garlic Spring, Langford Well, and Alvord Well, while the dry expanse of Coyote Lake marks the southern portion of the sheet.
