1986 Map of East of Langford Well

About this map

Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates this high-desert landscape in the mid-1980s, revealing a terrain defined by arid basins and remote ridgelines. The map is centered on a dry basin containing Langford Well Lake, a seasonal feature typical of the Mojave's interior drainage patterns. This provisional edition, compiled from early 1980s aerial photography, documents a network of primitive transportation routes, specifically marked as 4wd tracks, which navigate the complex topography between the military boundary and the surrounding hills. The transition between township lines t13n t12n and the Mil Res Bdy highlights the jurisdictional management of this protected desert region, providing a baseline for researchers tracking land use and access within the San Bernardino County desert during the late twentieth century.
