1982 Map of Manix

About this map

Mojave Valley terrain dominates this 1982 survey, where the episodic Mojave River carves a path through the arid San Bernardino desert. The map documents the specific locations of historic outposts like the Camp Cady (Site) and the Camp Cady Ranch, which were critical waypoints for early travelers through this corridor. To the east, the rising slopes of the Cady Mountains and Soldier Mtn overlook a landscape of washes and basins, including the ephemeral Troy Lake and Fourmile Waterhole. This provisional edition serves as a record of the region's sparse but essential water sources, including Cady Spring, and the navigational infrastructure of the era, such as the Vortac Facility and the rail line passing through Manix.
