1915 Map of Mojave

About this map

Tehachapi and the surrounding high desert are documented here during a period of significant infrastructural expansion and industrial activity. The convergence of the Southern Pacific and A T And S F railroads at Mojave underscores the area's role as a vital transportation hub, while the Los Angeles Aqueduct cuts a distinctive path through the desert floor. In the mountains to the north, the Sequoia National Forest houses scattered settlements like Claraville and numerous mining operations, including the Burning Moscow Mine and Joe Walker Mine.
