1955 Map of Mid Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The high desert basins and steep ranges of the Mojave are documented in this mid-1950s survey, showing a landscape defined by remote mines and critical water sources. The Union Pacific line cuts through the northwest corner at Cima, while the historic Old Government Road traverses the center, connecting notable stopovers like Government Holes and Rock Spring. This route reflects the mid-century reliance on established trails and dirt tracks to navigate the high-elevation valleys between the New York Mountains and the Providence Mountains.
