1942 Map of Shadow Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Isolated homesteads and desert landmarks define this high-desert landscape along the Los Angeles Co San Bernardino Co line in the years leading up to the mid-century. The map captures a transition between the elevated terrain of the Shadow Mountains and the flat expanses of Mirage Lake and El Mirage Lake. Scattered across this arid environment are several established family sites, including Walton Place, Martin Ranch, and Vanderburg Ranch, which suggest a reliance on the numerous wells and tanks identified throughout the area.
