1952 Map of Midland

About this map

The Little Maria Mountains dominate this California desert landscape, revealing a mid-century industrial hub centered around the company town of Midland. Operated by United States Gypsum, the settlement is depicted here with its own sewage disposal system and a Landing Strip, reflecting its self-contained nature during the peak of local mining operations. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks serve as the region's lifeline, connecting remote stations like Styx, Inca, and Cox to the broader rail network.
