1952 Map of Dry Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Dry Lake (Depression) defines this high-desert basin, where the industrial and military infrastructure of the early Cold War era is etched into the landscape. This 1952 survey highlights the critical transportation corridor formed by the Union Pacific railroad and the Arrowhead Trail, which serve a string of utility and industrial outposts like Arrolime, Garnet, and Apex. At Apex, the presence of an Apex Underpass and an Airway Beacon underscores the importance of this pass for both rail and air navigation.
