1983 Map of Cactus Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

China Lake Naval Weapons Center occupies a significant portion of this high-desert terrain in the early 1980s, highlighting the area's strategic military utility. The landscape is defined by its distinct geothermal and volcanic features, notably the Cactus Peak and Sugarloaf Mountain domes. Evidence of active geological activity is prominent at Fumarole Devils Kitchen and several other labeled Fumarole sites near Coso Hot Springs. These thermal features, alongside an Open Pit Mine, indicate a landscape shaped by both natural energy and industrial extraction. Water is a scarce but critical element in this environment, represented by scattered points like Haiwee Spring and Spring 4401, which stand in contrast to the expansive Dry Lake beds and the wide Rose Valley floor to the west.
