1983 Map of White Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Naval Weapons Center dominates this high desert landscape in the early 1980s, serving as a specialized military testing ground where the geography of China Lake Valley and Indian Wells meets defense technology. The terrain is strictly partitioned by specialized infrastructure, including several Flight Lines, a dedicated Missile Line, and multiple Target Areas scattered across the basin. Localized features such as a Launch Pad, a Bunker, and various Targets illustrate the active military usage of the era. Positioned at the intersection of Inyo, Kern, and San Bernardino counties, the map also captures the natural relief of the White Hills and a solitary Spring, providing a sharp contrast between the arid desert environment and the sophisticated technological operations conducted within these boundaries.
