1956 Map of Superstition Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Superstition Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape in the Imperial Valley, its complex topography rising sharply above the surrounding desert floor. This 1956 field-checked survey reveals a region defined by isolation and military utility, where a significant portion of the southern terrain is designated as a Naval Reservation. Within these restricted bounds, a specific Target Area and the flat expanse of a Dry Lake suggest the specialized use of the desert for training or testing operations during the Cold War era.
