1957 Map of Plaster City

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Industrial gypsum mining and military testing define this arid expanse of the Yuha Desert during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Plaster City serves as a hub for the local economy, dominated by the large Gypsum Plant and supported by the Mining Railroad stretching north toward Fish Creek Mountains. To the east, the landscape transitions into a heavy military footprint within the Naval Reservation, featuring a Parachute Testing Unit, an Observation Tower, and designated Target Areas.
