1956 Map of Victorville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Shadow Mountains dominate this high desert landscape, serving as a hub of mining activity during the mid-1950s. Surveyed with aerial photography and planetable techniques, the map reveals a terrain defined by mineral extraction, most notably at the Red Raven Mine. Scattered throughout the foothills are numerous Shafts, Prospects, and a Tunnel, indicating a period of intense exploratory interest in this portion of San Bernardino County. Drainage across the arid flats is funneled through the expansive Fremont Wash, which cuts a broad path northeastward across the desert floor.
