About this map

The Marine Corps Air Combat Center dominates the western portion of this desert landscape, where military operations meet the formidable natural barrier of the Bullion Mountains. Surveyed in the early 1950s and updated with mid-1980s data, the map illustrates the stark geography of the high desert before modern expansion. This era of mapping emphasizes the transit routes connecting remote outposts, most notably the Amboy Road which bisects the quadrangle from north to south. South of the mountains, the Sheep Hole Mts rise above the basin floor, surrounded by a network of primitive tracks and a Jeep Trail. These routes were critical for access in a period when the region was primarily utilized for military training and rugged backcountry travel, long before the proliferation of paved infrastructure in the surrounding San Bernardino County wilderness.
