1956 Map of Frink NW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this desert survey, where industrial and military utility intersect with unique desert developments. The northern sector is defined by the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range and a dedicated Mining Railroad, while the lower elevations reveal the vital infrastructure of the Coachella Canal. This waterway, marked by a series of numbered structures like Siphon 21 and Siphon 18, skirts the Naval Reservation Boundary. Perhaps most striking is the presence of the Hot Mineral Spa and a Tropical Fish Farm near the center of the sheet, indicating specialized aquaculture and recreation in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of local industry is found at several Rock Quarry sites and a Gravel Pit near the Southern Pacific tracks, illustrating how natural resources and transportation networks were managed during the mid-1950s.
