1943 Map of Castle Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Castle Butte dominates the central landscape of this 1943 War Department survey, representing a wartime assessment of the eastern Kern County desert. This era of mapping, conducted by the Corps of Engineers and the Army Map Service, highlights a sparse but functional network of early development in the Mojave Desert. Industrial activity is centered around the Muroc Clay Co near the edge of Rogers Lake, where the flat basin provided essential space for extractive and aerial operations.
