1956 Map of El Mirage

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

El Mirage Valley straddles the county line between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, characterized by a desert landscape of isolated buttes and seasonal water sources. The 1968 revisions, indicated in purple, highlight a shift toward infrastructure development, including numerous newly mapped reservoirs and the prominent Pearblossom Hy. A historical aviation footprint is visible at the Gray Butte 36 Field (Abandoned), which contrasts with the active industrial activity indicated by several quarries and prospects near Mt Elmo and Black Mtn. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor cuts across the terrain near the Three Sisters peaks. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of early water points like Moody Springs and the small settlement of El Mirage during a period of expanding road networks like Palmdale Boulevard.
