1947 Map of Castle Butte SE

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain of eastern Kern County is captured here just after the war, based on 1946 aerial photography and 1947 field editing. This area is characterized by sparse desert improvements and isolated landmarks like the Thundering Herd Ranch and a lonely Windmill situated near the Eighth Standard Parallel South. The survey highlights the significant natural rise of Castle Butte, providing a detailed look at the landforms and tracks that once guided travel through this arid landscape during the mid-20th century. Prepared by the Army Map Service and reprinted for civil use, the map emphasizes basic infrastructure and terrain markers essential for navigation and desert ranching life in the late 1940s.
