1955 Map of Roach Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The dry basin of Roach Lake dominates this mid-century survey of the high desert borderlands between Clark County, Nevada, and San Bernardino County, California. This arid landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad, which supported a string of isolated desert outposts including Roach, Calada, and Borax. Historically significant boundary markers are prominent, most notably the Von Schmidt Line, representing an early attempt to survey the state line.
