1955 Map of Deadman Lake SE

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this arid landscape, showing a region defined by high-altitude peaks and military utility during the mid-1950s. The presence of the Marine Corps Training Center across a large portion of the quadrangle highlights the area's shift toward intensive military use, punctuated by a Rifle Range and a network of Jeep Trails that negotiate the steep terrain. On the western edge, the dry bed of Deadman Lake provides a stark contrast to the surrounding elevations, including notable survey markers like VABM Segundo 3463 and Usmm 108. Evidence of prospecting activity is scattered throughout the hills, with several Prospects and a Gravel Pit noted, indicating small-scale mineral exploration typical of the Mojave's interior ranges during this era.
