1996 Map of Red Pass Lake NW

About this map

Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates the landscape of this high desert region in San Bernardino County, where topographical detail reveals a strictly managed landscape. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Ava Watz Mountains, featuring peaks such as Grave Summit. Scattered evidence of early exploration and utility is visible through isolated labels for Prospects and a Radio Facility, alongside a specific marker for a Grave. The inclusion of No Name Lake underscores the arid environment and the functional, often utilitarian naming conventions used in this military-managed territory during the mid-1990s. This survey, based on photography from the 1980s and updated through 1996, provides a window into the infrastructure and natural landforms preserved within the reservation boundaries before the turn of the century.
