About this map

Industrial activity and desert mining define this early 20th-century landscape, centered on the vast evaporative crust of Searles Lake. The map details the extraction infrastructure of the era, including the Soda Works and the northern terminus of the Trona RR. To the south, the mining hubs of Johannesburg and Rand anchor a network of claims and settlements like St Elmo and Atolia, connected by the Southern Pacific RR and its Owenyo Branch.
