1947 Map of Mojave
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Mojave serves as a critical desert junction in the late 1940s, where the high desert meets the foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains. This transition is marked by a massive infrastructure network, including the Los Angeles Aqueduct winding across the terrain and the convergence of two major rail lines: the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The landscape reflects a mix of civilian and military interests, featuring the Muroc Naval Air Station (Abandoned) and a sprawling Military Reservation to the east of the town center.
