USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Indian Wells Valley is defined by a mid-century military and mining landscape at the border of Kern and San Bernardino counties. The early growth of Ridgecrest and China Lake is clearly visible, centered around the Naval Reservation Boundary and aviation facilities at Armitage Field. Educational infrastructure like Burroughs High Sch and Monroe Sch anchors the residential sectors, while a Drive-In Theater and Davis Airport reflect the area's mid-1950s development.
