1942 Map of Rogers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range occupies a significant portion of this high desert landscape, highlighting the military transformation of the region during the early 1940s. The arid basin of the Mojave Desert is dominated by the expansive Rogers Lake and nearby Buckhorn Lake, which provided a natural, level surface for aviation activities. Along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, small rail-dependent settlements like Muroc, Fluhr, and Solon served as anchors for the sparse population.
