1983 Map of Crucero Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Mojave River Sink and the expansive alkaline flats of Soda Lake dominate this arid landscape at the junction of critical desert transit routes. The tiny settlement of Crucero serves as a focal point where the Union Pacific tracks meet remnants of earlier infrastructure, including an Old RR Grade and a subsequent RR Grade carving through the basin. These corridors reflect the historical necessity of navigating the difficult terrain between the Soda Mountains and Crucero Hill. Scattered signs of desert habitation and water sources appear at Rasor Ranch and Mesquite Spring, while an extensive Levee system north of the sink indicates efforts to manage intermittent desert flooding. The map captures a transition period in the early 1980s where modern rail operations continued alongside the weathering traces of the region's pioneering transportation networks.
