1971 Map of Hodge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Hodge and Johnstons Corner anchor this San Bernardino County landscape where the Mojave River valley cuts between high desert ranges. The 1971 survey illustrates a critical transportation corridor, dominated by the parallel tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Union Pacific, reflecting the region's enduring role as a gateway to the southwest. North of the river, the massive shoulder of Iron Mountain looms over the valley, while the south is defined by the Brisbane Valley and an intricate network of desert access points. These routes, with evocative names like Gunsmoke Road, Frontier Road, and the Chisholm Trail, reveal a mid-century era of recreation and rural land development. The presence of multiple Wells and a large Borrow Pit highlights the logistical demands of maintaining infrastructure in this arid environment before the further expansion of neighboring Barstow.
