1947 Map of Kramer

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this mid-century survey, defined by the expansive Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation and its network of mountain-peak vantage points. Several Observation towers are positioned throughout the southern half of the sheet, reflecting the high-desert landscape's role in post-war military operations. Near the northern boundary, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary transportation artery, anchoring small desert outposts. The settlement of Kramer and the road junction at Beechers Corners provide the few hubs of human activity in an otherwise austere landscape of basins and ridgelines. The transition from civilian railroad corridor to restricted military airspace captures a specific moment in the evolution of San Bernardino County's desert geography just after the war.
