1947 Map of Kramer SW

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation dominates the northern expanse of this landscape, reflecting the intensive military expansion within the Mojave Desert during and immediately after World War II. Compiled by the Army Map Service using 1946 aerial photography, the map documents a transition from open desert terrain to a controlled defense landscape. Prominent landmarks such as Jackrabbit Hill rise above the alluvial plains, while the broad reaches of the Antelope Valley and Mirage Valley define the regional geography. The presence of a simple, straight road labeled Avenue cutting through the southern half suggests the early, rigid grid of desert development, providing a stark contrast to the undeveloped terrain of the military target areas to the north.
