1953 Map of Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Calico Mountains and the arid basin of the Mojave River dominate this desert landscape during the early 1950s. This survey records an era of significant military and industrial presence in the High Desert, centered on the Nebo Marine Base (Barstow Annex) and the eastern edge of Barstow. The transport infrastructure is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the river and serves the logistical needs of the base and local mining operations.
