1955 Map of Deadman Lake NW

About this map

The Marine Corps Training Center dominates this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, capturing the region during the mid-1950s when military activity and natural landforms defined the area's use. The topographic relief is punctuated by the Bullion Mountains and the sharp elevation change at Noble Pass. A network of drainage patterns, including the wide Bullion Wash and the distinct carved routes of Rainbow Canyon and Wood Canyon, illustrates the arid hydrology of the Mojave. A solitary Jeep Trail provides the primary evidence of human transit through this training ground, connecting the lower flats with the ascending terrain of Gypsum Ridge. The map highlights the transition from alluvial fans to jagged peaks, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography before later 20th-century developments changed the intensity of its tactical use.
