1947 Map of Fluhr

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path across the high desert, anchoring small sidings like Fluhr and the settlement of Muroc. This 1947 survey captures a critical transition for the region, as the expansive Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation establishes a dominant footprint across the Mojave Desert. The presence of the Muroc Army Airfield on the western edge of Rogers Lake signals the area's mid-century shift toward military aviation and aerospace testing, while the surrounding landscape remains marked by traditional desert infrastructure like a solitary Well and windmill in the southern flats.
