1953 Map of Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Calico Mountains dominate the northeastern corner of this desert landscape, where industrial history is etched into the terrain through numerous extraction sites like the Silver Bow Mine and Burcham Mine. This 1953 survey captures a period of significant military and logistics presence in San Bernardino County, centered on the Marine Corps Supply Center Nebo (Nebo Area) and the Marine Corps Supply Center (Yermo Area). Along the southern edge, the Mojave River valley serves as a vital corridor for transportation and infrastructure. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway runs parallel to the river, while a major Pipeline and the Naval Res Bdy further define the land use. From the heights of Lead Mountain to the lowlands of the riverbed, the map illustrates the mid-century intersection of mining traditions and modern military development.
