1943 Map of Mojave

About this map

Mojave serves as the central hub of this 1943 survey, situated at the critical junction where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads meet. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the high peaks of the Tehachapi Mountains and Cache Peak down into the expansive Mojave Desert. Infrastructure critical to California's growth is prominent, most notably the Los Angeles Aqueduct snaking across the terrain and the Pine Tree Aqueduct Station.
