The Victorville Precision Bombing Range N-1 was located in San Bernardino County, California, 9 miles northeast of Victorville. In the 1940's, the Department of Defense (DoD) acquired a total of 560 acres through lease from private parties and transfer from the Department of Interior (DoI). Following a land acquisition directive dated 12 May 1942, DoD acquired 400 acres of private land. Currently, the former bombing range exists as vacant land under both private and public interests. This property is known or suspected to contain military munitions and explosives of concern (e.g., unexploded ordnance) and therefore may present an explosive hazard.

Update (Dec. 5, 2017): We have changed the source of the installation cost data after being notified by the Department of Defense that they erroneously reported their own cost figures on the DERP website. We are now displaying the costs the department says are the most accurate available, from the Pentagon’s DERP database that we received in a FOIA request.
