1972 Map of Bighorn Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Johnson Valley stretches across the northern portion of this map, characterized by a systematic grid of residential and arterial roads named for desert flora, including Joshua Tree Avenue, Manzanita Ave, and Cholla Avenue. This desert community development contrasts sharply with the southern terrain, where the Bighorn Mountains rise abruptly. The landscape here is carved by significant drainage systems such as Bighorn Canyon and Ruby Canyon, which served as natural corridors through the high country. In the far southwest, the settlement of Meeks sits near the higher peaks, while markers like Rock Corral and various scattered Cisterns and Springs indicate the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The map also documents early aviation infrastructure with a Landing Strip and a dedicated Landing Field positioned to serve the valley's residents.
