About this map

Edwards Air Force Base dominates the northern half of this Antelope Valley landscape, where the Air Force Flight Test Center operations meet the vast dry basins of Rogers Lake and Buckhorn Lake. This 1992 revision reveals a highly specialized military landscape featuring a Test Track, an Observation Tower, and a dedicated Hospital. The intersection of the Kern Co Los Angeles Co boundary line runs through the heart of the flight center's territory.

In the south, the small community of Redman sits at the crossing of Avenue E and 90th Street, serving as a pocket of civilian life amidst the surrounding desert. Local landmarks such as the Grange Hall and Branch Memorial Park provide glimpses into the social fabric of this high-desert region. The map also records the grid-like expansion of thoroughfares like Lancaster Boulevard and 100th Street, contrasted against the primitive 4wd tracks and scattered mineral exploration sites like the Borrow Pit and Prospect.
