1955 Map of Newberry

About this map

The Mojave River valley corridor serves as a vital transportation and settlement artery in this mid-century desert survey. Two major railroads, the Union Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, run parallel through the arid terrain, anchoring small stops like Harvard, Toomey, and Lava. Local education and social life are centered at the Newberry School near the settlement of Newberry, while the presence of the Daggett Radio Range Station highlights the era's growing aviation infrastructure.
