1934 Map of Joshua

About this map

Antelope Valley dominates this 1930s landscape, where the arid floor of the Mojave Desert meets a cluster of prominent Buttes in northeastern Los Angeles County. The terrain is defined by extreme relief, transitioning from the flat expanse of the valley floor to the sharp elevations of the rocky outcrops. To the north, the southern edge of Rogers Dry Lake is visible, a feature that would later become central to the region's aerospace history. Scattered across this sparse landscape are several isolated wells, indicating the critical search for water in this high-desert environment. The survey also captures early infrastructure, including the straight, grid-aligned tracks of Avenue and 150 Th St E, which provide the skeletal framework for future development in this corner of the county.
