1956 Map of Soda Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Soda Lake dominates this arid landscape, a vast alkaline basin where water and geography shaped human movement through the Mojave Desert. In the mid-1950s, the Union Pacific corridor provided the primary transit link, passing through small outposts like Crucero and Balch. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade running north toward Tidewater reflects the shifting infrastructure of the era, marking the routes of earlier mining or transport efforts that once relied on water sources like Soda Springs (Alkali).
