1973 Map of Rogers Lake North

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Edwards Air Force Base dominates this landscape, centered on the expansive dry bed of Rogers Lake. As a premier Flight Test Center in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by specialized aviation infrastructure, including the Low Altitude Speed Course, a Taxiway C, and the distinctive Fly-By Line. The presence of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the northwest corner highlights the area's role in aerospace development. Away from the runways, the map documents technical support structures such as multiple Tracking Stations, a Radio Facility, and an Observation Tower. Traces of earlier transportation history are visible in the Old Railroad Grade, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line skirts the northern boundary near North Base.
