1934 Map of Joshua

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Rogers Dry Lake spans the northern edge of this high desert survey, providing a distinct geographic anchor for a landscape defined by the vast Antelope Valley and the rising formations of the Buttes. Conducted in 1930 and updated for culture in 1948 by Los Angeles County surveyor T.H. Moncure, the map reveals a sparsely settled ranching and agricultural region on the cusp of mid-century change. The Baxter Ranch stands as a primary landmark in a grid of proposed and existing desert roads, including Avenue B and 140 Th St. Numerous wells scattered across the basin highlight the critical role of groundwater in sustaining life and industry here, while the precisely surveyed county line between Kern Co and Los Angeles Co marks the intersection of high desert jurisdictions.
