1956 Map of Bannock

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchors this mid-century desert survey, tracing a path through the eastern Mojave where water and transit dictated human presence. Small railroad sidings and stops like Bannock, Homer, and Ibis illustrate the sparse infrastructure required to maintain cross-continental transit. The terrain is dominated by the Sacramento Mountains and the Dead Mountains, with significant geographic markers such as Flattop Mtn and Eagle Peak rising above the alluvial basins. Historical transport patterns are visible through the Old Santa Fe Trails Road, which mirrors the rail line's path across the arid landscape. Water sources remain critical and scarce, represented by Sacramento Springs and the drainage systems of Piute Wash and Homer Wash. Several prospects scattered near the mountains hint at the mineral exploration common to this part of San Bernardino County.
