1955 Map of Goat Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Naval Marine Corps Training Center Reservation occupies much of this high desert landscape, defined by sharp topographical rises and military boundary lines. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a transition between military land use and early resource exploration in San Bernardino County. Activity is concentrated around the base of Goat Mountain, where a Mine Tunnel and various Prospects suggest a history of mining interest. The rugged terrain is further marked by Sand Hill Vabm 2837 and scattered water sources like Surprise Spring. Infrastructure of the era is minimal, primarily consisting of the Giant Rock Road and unimproved dirt tracks that connect this arid region toward Twentynine Palms. The lack of established settlements highlights the remote, specialized nature of this tract during the post-war expansion of desert training facilities.
