1956 Map of Phelan
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Phelan and its surrounding ranchlands occupy the high desert floor in the mid-1950s, where the Mojave's alluvial fans meet the northern slopes of the San Bernardino National Forest. This era of development is defined by a grid of dirt and light-duty roads, including Goss Road and Phelan Road, serving established homesteads like Goss Ranch, Johnson Ranch, and Wilson Ranch. The landscape is a transition from agricultural life to desert travel, evidenced by the Yucca Inn and the southern reach of the Southern Pacific railroad line crossing the northern section.
