1972 Map of Inyokern

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Indian Wells Valley is defined here by its intersection of desert logistics, military operations, and transit history. The map centers on the community of Inyokern, a hub where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the aviation infrastructure of Kern County Airport No 8. This proximity to the vast China Lake Naval Weapons Center is evident in the presence of the U S Government Railroad and an Old RR Grade, suggesting the shifting transportation needs of the mid-20th century.
