1955 Map of Lavic SE

About this map

The Bullion Mountains dominate this mid-century high desert landscape, characterized by significant elevation changes and the specialized infrastructure of the Marine Corps Training Center. Established as a military training area in the California desert, the terrain is marked by remote peaks such as Round and Mesa, connected by a network of primitive transportation routes including a Jeep Trail winding through the southern reaches. The survey captures a moment when the San Bernardino County desert was increasingly utilized for strategic national defense purposes under the administration of Governor Goodwin J. Knight. Historically significant for its topography, the map highlights the geological transition at Gays Pass, reflecting the area's isolation and the stark environment that defines this portion of the Mojave Desert before more modern expansions.
