1983 Map of Trona West
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Argus Range terrain dominates this survey of the California desert, where industrial mineral extraction and military operations meet at the edge of the Searles Lake salt pan. The settlements of Trona and Argus are established at the base of the mountains, supported by a network of resource sites including a Gravel Pit and several Prospect locations. The map illustrates a complex relationship between the natural landscape and human utility, with the massive Naval Weapons Center China Lake boundary consuming much of the western terrain.
