1943 Map of Mojave

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The town of Mojave serves as the central hub of this 1943 survey, where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads converge in the high desert. This era captures a landscape of transit and resource extraction, notably featuring the Los Angeles Aqueduct cutting through the northern canyons and the sprawling US Naval Reservation to the west of the main settlement. Small communities like Reefer City, Gold Town, and Sanborn line the rail corridors, reflecting the area's mid-century growth near the Tehachapi Mountains.
