Edwards Air Force Base dominates this high-desert landscape in Kern County, illustrating the specialized infrastructure of one of the world's most significant aerospace testing sites. The layout shows the residential heart of the base at Edwards, including the Wherry Housing district and the local Post Office, nestled between the Bissell Hills and the expansive dry bed of Rogers Lake. The map details the transition from residential areas to operational zones, featuring the Muroc Golf Course and specialized landmarks like the West Fly-By Tower. Roads such as Neuralia Rd and E Trotter Ave provide a skeletal grid across the arid terrain, leading toward the Edwards Air Force Sta. This 2012 survey captures the modern footprint of the base, preserving the locations of military housing and tactical observation points used in flight testing programs.
