1942 Map of Kramer

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchors this survey of the high desert, connecting small outposts like Rich, Amargo, and Kramer across the vast Mojave Desert. This era shows a landscape where sparse human infrastructure is defined by a handful of remote settlements and the beginning of aviation history at a solitary Airport. The terrain is characterized by isolated volcanic and crystalline features, notably Haystack Butte and the Red Buttes, which rise abruptly from the flat desert floor. To the south, the grid of the Mirage Valley begins with labeled thoroughfares such as Avenue C and Avenue D, leading toward the Shadow Mountains. Of particular interest for researchers is the detail near the dry bed of Rogers Lake and the presence of the Blake Ranch, providing a window into the ranching and railway life of this arid region before its mid-century expansion.
