About this map

Edwards Air Force Base dominates this 1992 survey, where the dry expanse of Rogers Lake provides a natural foundation for high-performance aviation testing. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the Flight Test Center, featuring an Altitude Speed Course and various Target locations scattered across the desert floor. Military operations are supported by a grid of named thoroughfares including Mercury Boulevard and Avenue B, which cross the Kern Co Los Angeles Co boundary line.

Technical facilities like the Tracking Station and Radio Facility are positioned among the arid terrain, while local landmarks such as Mt Mesa rise above the alluvial fans. Evidence of resource extraction and site maintenance is visible through labels for a Mine, a Gravel Pit, and a designated Disposal Area. This document records a landscape defined by the intersection of aerospace technology and the Mojave Desert environment.
