1955 Map of Deadman Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Marine Corps Training Center dominates this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, a terrain defined by arid basins and isolated water sources. The presence of Surprise Spring and the dry expanse of Deadman Lake highlight the critical role of sparse water points in this desert environment. Revisions from 1976, marked in purple, show the evolving military infrastructure of the late twentieth century, specifically around the Landing Field. A network of Jeep Trails crisscrosses the topography, illustrating how accessibility in these remote reaches was maintained for training and observation. The map also delineates the Naval Reservation Boundary, marking the intersection of different federal land uses during a period of significant military presence in the California interior.
