1972 Map of Melville Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Upper Johnson Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, captured here as it appeared in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a remote environment defined by ephemeral water features and sparse human outposts, notably the Shehorn Ranch and the small settlement of Armelino along Armelino Ave. The presence of a Landing Strip and numerous Jeep Trails suggest a reliance on specialized transportation to navigate the arid expanse between Melville Lake and Means Lake. Geologic interest is found in the Sand Dunes and various Prospects scattered near the Quarry, indicating mineral exploration typical of the region. Local infrastructure is represented by desert thoroughfares like Boone Road and Cole Rd, connecting isolated wells such as Means Well to the broader Mojave network.
