1955 Map of Morgans Well

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Bullion Mountains dominate this 1955 landscape, where the transition from traditional mining to military use is clearly visible. The survey identifies several industrial remnants, including Mine Shafts and Mine Tunnels scattered across the high desert terrain. Central to the map is Morgans Well, a critical water point in an arid environment otherwise marked only by a lone Spring. By the mid-1950s, much of this area fell under the jurisdiction of the Marine Corps Training Center, with the Naval Reservation Boundary cutting across the northern sections. This shift in land use from extraction to defense training is a defining characteristic of this San Bernardino County quadrangle, further documented by high-elevation survey markers like Vabm White 4343 and Vabm Black Top 2736.
