1943 Map of Danby

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor defines this World War II-era topographic study, prepared under the direction of the California-Arizona Maneuver Area. This high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County is centered on the railway stations of Danby, Siam, and Arimo, which served as critical infrastructure points during wartime military training. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward the Clipper Mine and Tom Reed Mine, while the southern reaches are dominated by the volcanic forms of the Ship Mountains. The map traces the historical path of Old Trails Road, a precursor to major transcontinental routes, alongside essential desert resources like Bonanza Spring and a series of Pumping Stations. These labels reflect a functional industrial and transport landscape where water access and rail logistics were paramount for both mining interests and military preparedness.
