About this map

Ward Valley dominates the landscape of this 1985 survey, revealing the vast, arid expanse of the eastern Mojave Desert. The map captures the subtle topography of the alluvial plains and the dry bed of Danby Lake in the southwest corner. Transportation and infrastructure are sparse but critical markers of human presence in this region, notably the Atchinson rail line and a prominent Levee near the lake. The alignment of the Trans Line Steel Tower provides a vertical landmark in the flat desert terrain, while the drainage patterns of Homer Wash trace the natural movement of water during rare desert floods. This provisional edition reflects the late twentieth-century state of the California interior, documented through aerial photography and field checks that highlight the intersection of natural basins and industrial utility corridors.
