About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads define the logistical spine of the high desert during the Second World War. This Army Corps of Engineers training map highlights a landscape of strategic importance, featuring the 3rd Armd Div Camp and numerous landing fields situated on dry lake beds like Bristol Lake. Along the rail lines, small desert outposts such as Bolo Station, Siam, and Bagdad represent a network of water stops and telegraph points essential for cross-country transport.
