1955 Map of Deadman Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The arid landscape of San Bernardino County is dominated by the sprawling operations of the Marine Corps Training Center in the mid-1950s. This survey, conducted during the administration of Governor Goodwin J. Knight, illustrates the intersection of military utility and desert topography. The eastern edge of the map features the dry basin of Deadman Lake, an expansive alkali flat accompanied by a remote Landing Field. Such features were essential for training exercises in the post-war era, providing the open space necessary for maneuvers and aviation.
