1986 Map of Tiefort Mountains

About this map

Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the specialized infrastructure of a high-desert training installation. The rugged topography of the Tiefort Mountains serves as a natural backdrop for various defense installations, including a Radio Facility and a Radio Artillery Facility. Transport and logistics are central to the area's layout, with Bicycle Lake Road and a designated Landing Strip providing essential access. This period represents a mature stage of the reservation's development, where the land's natural features were systematically integrated with military communication and training needs. The presence of several Gravel Pits suggests local material extraction to support the maintenance of the base's road and facility networks.
