1985 Map of Cadiz Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Cadiz Lake and its surrounding Cadiz Valley dominate this arid landscape, which is defined by the stark industrial and natural features of the Mojave Desert in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a specialized economy centered on salt extraction, featuring several large Salt Evaporators and associated tanks situated along the eastern margins of the dry lakebed. These industrial sites are linked by rugged 4wd tracks that cut through the extensive Cadiz Dunes and across the white expanse of the Dry Lake. The presence of numerous Prospect labels throughout the dunes and valley floor suggests a history of mineral exploration in this remote corner of San Bernardino County. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the intricate wind-swept patterns of the sand dunes as they interface with the flat, mineral-rich basins.
