1947 Map of Fluhr

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 1947 survey, revealing a landscape at the intersection of early military aviation and transcontinental rail. Centered around the rail stop of Fluhr, the map details the vast reach of the Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation as it begins to encompass the shoreline of Rogers Lake. The presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting diagonally across the desert floor underscores the area's importance as a logistics corridor. Toward the southeast, the small settlement of Muroc and the northern reaches of Antelope Valley appear alongside more primitive features like a Well and windmill, illustrating the transition from a sparse ranching environment to a critical strategic installation for the U.S. Army Air Force.
