1971 Map of Apple Valley South

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Apple Valley is depicted during a period of expanding residential development in the High Desert, where a grid of planned streets such as Powhatan Rd and Ottawa Road meets the natural limits of the Mojave River and the Ord Mountains. The map reveals a community supported by local infrastructure, including several educational facilities like Yucca Loma Sch and Mariana Sch, alongside agricultural and recreational landmarks such as the Fish Hatchery at Jess Ranch. To the south, the landscape shifts abruptly from the valley floor into the high elevations of Juniper Flats and the steep terrain of Arrastre Canyon. This 1970s record highlights the transition from a desert ranching economy, represented by the Bowen Ranch, to a suburban environment, all while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad remains a dominant corridor through the valley.
