1973 Map of Mojave NE

About this map

California City emerges as a planned desert community in this early 1970s survey, defined by its ambitious street grid and California City Corporate Boundary. The map illustrates the town's early infrastructure, including the California City Airport and a network of arterial roads named for aviation and local figures, such as Lindbergh Blvd and Mendiburu Rd. To the west, the arid landscape shifts toward the rising slopes of Barren Ridge, where Tree Canyon and various Prospects suggest a history of resource exploration.
