1973 Map of California City South

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The planned grid of California City dominates this arid landscape, showing a massive network of ambitious residential streets like Valley Blvd and Great Circle during the mid-1970s. While many roads appear as surveyed lines in the desert, the map identifies specific infrastructure such as Ulrich Sch and several well sites that supported the budding community. The northern portion of the Air Force Flight Test Center Edwards Air Force Base occupies the southern edge of the sheet, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line runs through Edwards Siding. Prominent geological landmarks including Castle Butte and Desert Butte provide natural orientation points amidst the vast network of pipelines and prospect pits, reflecting the intersection of military operations, mining, and suburban desert development.
