About this map

Superstition Mountain dominates the landscape of this Imperial County desert region, serving as the focal point for mid-century military operations and resource exploration. This sheet captures a landscape defined by the Recovery Parachute Test Range, an expansive facility marked by specialized zones such as the Target Area and specific markers like Mosca and Tare. The terrain is characterized by the flat expanses of West Mesa and the seasonal presence of a Dry Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
