USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Searles Lake and its surrounding mineral-rich basins dominate this desert landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad connects industrial outposts like Trona and Westend. The map reveals a transition from active mining settlements like Randsburg and Johannesburg to the expansive Camp Irwin Military Reservation. Historic travel routes are etched across the terrain, including the Old Spanish Trail winding near Soda Lake and Silver Lake.
