1956 Map of Bannock

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway cuts a prominent path through this desert corridor, connecting small rail-side outposts like Bannock and Homer. The map illustrates the region's reliance on fixed infrastructure and sparse water sources, such as the Sacramento Springs and various wells. Overland travel follows established routes including the Old Trails Road and Santa Fe Road, which navigate the arid terrain of Piute Valley and the Sacramento Mountains. Evidence of early prospecting and utility development appears through scattered prospects and a long-distance Pipeline, while high points like Eagle Peak and the Dead Mountains frame the eastern edge of the Mojave landscape. This survey captures a specific network of desert navigation and logistics prior to the expansion of modern highway systems.
