1972 Map of Melville Lake

About this map

Upper Johnson Valley and the broader Johnson Valley floor dominate this desert landscape, where water access dictated the placement of early improvements. Isolated outposts like Shehorn Ranch and scattered water sources such as Means Well, Dry Well, and other unnamed wells show the reliance on groundwater in this arid basin. The presence of a Landing Strip and a network of desert tracks, including Pony Road and Barnes Road, reflects the area's mid-century utility for transportation and recreation.
