1955 Map of Kelso

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kelso and Cima serve as the primary anchors for this mid-1950s survey of the Mojave Desert, connected by the Union Pacific line. The desert landscape is defined by its vital water sources, including the historic Marl Spring and Rainbow Wells, which supported travel along the Government Road. The railroad infrastructure is well-documented, featuring small sidings and stops like Chase, Elora, and Dawes. In the higher elevations of the Providence Mts and Kelso Mts, the map records several prospects and named springs such as Macedonia Spring and Tough Nut Spring. The presence of Lava flows and the Marl Mountains illustrates the distinct geological character of the region, while drainage patterns are traced through Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash.
