1956 Map of Rosamond
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Elephant Eagle Mine, Golden Queen Mine, and the Bobtail Mine cluster around the prominent volcanic slopes of Soledad Mtn, marking a landscape defined by both mineral extraction and aerospace expansion. This mid-century survey captures the Mojave Desert during a period of transition, where the historic tracks of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads intersect with the growing footprint of Edwards Air Force Base. The sprawling alkali flats of Rosamond Lake dominate the southeastern quadrant, providing the natural infrastructure for a Test Track and military aviation activities near the Rosamond Airport.
