1960 Map of Trona
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Industrial operations around Searles Lake anchor this mid-century view of the high desert, where the company town of Trona and the nearby Westend serve as centers for mineral extraction. The vast landscape transitions from the residential hubs of Ridgecrest and Inyokern in the west to the southern reaches of Death Valley National Monument in the north. This survey documents a critical period of desert utility, showing the extensive Camp Irwin Military Reservation and the complex network of spring-fed outposts like Saratoga Spring and Bitter Spring.
