1955 Map of Red Bluff Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Kofa Game Range dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the jagged peaks of the Castle Dome Mts meet the Castle Dome Plain. The map documents a transition in land use, showing the establishment of the Yuma Test Station and its Military Reservation Boundary across the desert floor. Remote outposts like Green Cabin and vital water sources such as Dixon Spr and Salton Tanks highlight the essential infrastructure for survival in the arid terrain. To the south, the topography rises again into the Muggins Mts and the namesake Red Bluff Mountain, before descending into the Mohawk Valley. Numerous prospects, a tunnel, and observation towers scattered across the sheet provide evidence of both the region's mineral interests and its growing military significance during the 1950s.
