About this map

Industrial operations and military testing dominate this desert landscape, where the Gypsum Plant at Plaster City serves as a major focal point for the regional economy. The San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railroad cuts a straight line across the arid terrain, facilitating the movement of materials through the Yuha Desert. To the north, the Recovery Parachute Test Range and a specialized Parachute Testing Unit indicate the mid-century importance of this area for defense and aerospace research.
