1983 Map of West of Soda Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Soda Mountains define the eastern relief of this arid corridor in the Mojave Desert, where infrastructure and mining take precedence over permanent settlement. The presence of Beacon Station along the southern margin, situated near a Water Tank, underscores the importance of traveler services and water access in this desert environment. Industrial activity is evident through the Blue Bell Mine and a designated Borrow Pit, indicating the extraction of minerals and materials from the surrounding terrain. Long-distance utility lines, including a Power Line and Gas Line, traverse the landscape alongside a prominent Levee, reflecting the large-scale engineering required to manage resources and protection across the open Wash systems. The network of unimproved tracks and the presence of Rasor Road provide a record of regional travel routes used before the modernization of desert thoroughfares.
