1983 Map of Kelso

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Kelso sits as a critical junction for the Union Pacific railroad in this arid expanse of the eastern Mojave. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined by a protective Levee and the presence of a Cem, reflecting the permanent footprint of the rail workers and their families. To the west, the Marl Mountains dominate the terrain, rising to the prominent Kelso Peak. The landscape is etched by drainage systems like Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash, which reveal the hydrological patterns of this desert environment. Signs of human industry and range management appear throughout the quadrangle, including a Prospect for mining and a Corral for ranching. Utility and transit are marked by the presence of Water Res and the transit corridors of Kelbaker Road and Cima Road.
