1942 Map of Rogers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain of the early 1940s is defined by the expanse of Dry Lake, a feature that would soon become central to American aerospace history. At this time, the Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range occupies the eastern edge of the lakebed, reflecting the area's transition into a military training ground during the war years. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the basin, serving the small settlement of Muroc and the stop at Solon.
