About this map

Muroc Army Airfield Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, reflecting the intensifying military footprint in the Mojave Desert after the war. The map centers on the critical rail and mining hub of Boron, where the industrial infrastructure of the Pacific Coast Borax Co. Mine & Mill 3 Mi. and the Suckow Borax Co. Mine 3 Mi. are noted as vital regional landmarks. This area served as a nexus for the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which provided the essential transport link for mineral extraction across the arid basins.
