1954 Map of Little Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Rose Valley serves as a narrow corridor for vital California infrastructure in this mid-century survey, where the Southern Pacific railroad and a major Pipe Line run parallel through the high desert. The small settlements of Little Lake, Linnie, and Brown are positioned along this transit spine, which is flanked to the west by the steep elevations of Sawtooth Peak and Boulder Peak. Notable for archaeological interest, the map identifies Indian Petroglyphs east of the valley, while the presence of a Cinder Pit and Gravel Pit indicates the era's local extractive industry. The drainage patterns are clearly defined through numerous named canyons, including Fivemile Canyon and Ninemile Canyon, which feed into the valley floor near the Los Angeles Aqueduct. This survey captures the region just as the eastern boundary was being formalized as part of a Naval Reservation.
