1943 Map of Castle Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mojave Desert peaks and isolated ranchsteads define this 1943 survey, capturing the arid landscape of Kern County during the Second World War. The terrain is dominated by the Rand Mountains to the north and prominent volcanic remnants such as Castle Butte and Desert Butte. This mapping is particularly notable for showing the convergence of two major surveying systems, where the Mount Diablo Base and Meridian meets the San Bernardino Base and Meridian, a critical point for land claims and property history in California.
