Edwards Air Force Base and the NASA Flight Research Ctr dominate the northwestern landscape, centered on the dry expanse of Rogers Lake. This 1982 compilation shows a region defined by massive military and aerospace installations, including the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory and George Air Force Base near Victorville. The Mojave River valley serves as a primary corridor for transportation, carrying the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads toward the desert hub of Barstow. In the high desert beyond the air bases, the map records the legacy of the Old Spanish Trail and several mining sites like the Rabbit Hole Mine and Western Mine. From the planned streets of Apple Valley to the protected land at Saddleback Butte State Park, the sheet captures the expansion of High Desert communities during the early 1980s.
