1947 Map of Mt. Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Rogers Lake dominates the upper northwestern portion of this terrain, marking a stark boundary within the expansive Mojave Desert. The landscape is heavily defined by the presence of the Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation, a site of critical importance for early postwar aeronautical testing. The presence of several Lookout Towers along the northern ridges suggest a network of observation points established to monitor the wide valley floor below.
