1955 Map of Newberry

About this map

Newberry Mountains and the Mojave River dominate this mid-century desert landscape, where transport and water define the layout of human activity. The map reveals a corridor of historical significance, showing the Union Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads traversing the arid terrain near settlements like Newberry and Harvard. An important local landmark, the Camp Cady (Site) near Cady Spring, marks the location of a former military outpost on the old Salt Lake Trail.
