1951 Map of Cave Mountain

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad carves a lifeline through this arid Mojave landscape, following the path of the Mojave River as it reaches its final destination at the Mojave River Sink. This mid-century survey captures a network of rail-dependent desert outposts including Dunn, New Dunn, Afton, and Midway, which served the logistics of the high desert. To the north, the Camp Irwin Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the territory, its approximate boundaries stretching across the rugged Soda Mountains. The hydrology of the region is defined by ephemeral basins like West Cronese Lake and East Cronese Lake, separated by the Cronese Mountains. The Arrowhead Trail and various beacon sites indicate the early infrastructure supporting transcontinental travel and navigation across the Cronese Valley before the modernization of the interstate system.
