1982 Map of Harvard Hill

About this map

The Mojave Valley in San Bernardino County serves as the backdrop for this early 1980s topographic study, centered on the small settlement of Harvard. This desert corridor is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad and multiple transmission lines, including a 3 Steel Tower Transmission Line that cuts diagonally across the arid landscape. The presence of several small water bodies, such as Lake Dolores and Lake Jodie, highlights the localized irrigation and recreation efforts in an otherwise dry environment.
