1949 Map of Searles Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Industrial mineral extraction and desert infrastructure define this high-desert landscape just after the war. The presence of settlements like Argus, Borosolvay, and South Trona along the western edge of Searles Lake illustrates the intense salt and potash mining operations of the era. To the north, Sediment tanks and various pipeline networks connect these remote outposts to the surrounding terrain, while a Dismantled RR traces the historical movement of materials before transportation patterns shifted.
