1915 Map of Searles Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Mining operations and early high-desert settlements define this landscape during the first decades of the twentieth century. The industrial hub of Trona sits on the edge of Searles Lake, supported by the Soda Works and connected to the broader region by the Trona RR. To the south, the mining boom towns of Johannesburg and Randsburg serve as anchors for the local economy, near where the Southern Pacific railroad meets branches like the Lowenyo Branch.
