1947 Map of Redman School

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Antelope Valley transitions from agricultural settlement into a restricted defense landscape in this 1947 survey of the Mojave Desert. The southern portion of the map is defined by a rigid grid of unpaved roads, including Avenue E and 170th Street, serving local education hubs like the namesake Redman School and Antelope School. These small rural centers contrast sharply with the expansive northern reaches, where the Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation encompasses the vast alkali flats of Rogers Lake. The map documents a specific desert economy of the late 1940s, featuring isolated outposts such as the Ganso Bravo Ranch, the Oasis Duck Club, and Barns Airfield. These features, along with Buckhorn Lake, illustrate how water and aviation shaped the development of this corner of Los Angeles County before the full expansion of modern aerospace infrastructure.
