USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The arid expanse of the Mojave Desert defines this mid-century landscape, where the settlement of Baker serves as a critical junction near the southern edge of the sheet. The map documents an area deeply tied to mineral extraction and early transport, centered on the expansive dry basins of Silver Lake and Soda Lake. The Old Railroad Grade traces a linear path through the valley floor, connecting defunct stops like Riggs and Talc to the larger regional network.
