1956 Map of Victorville

About this map

The Mojave River serves as the central artery for this High Desert landscape, carving through the Lower Narrows and Upper Narrows as it flows past the growing hubs of Victorville and Oro Grande. During this era of mid-century expansion, the region is defined by a mix of military presence at George Air Force Base, heavy industry such as the Cement Plant and Shay Quarry, and the critical transportation corridors of the At&Sf Rr and Union Pacific Railroad.
