}}Muroc (also, Rogers, Rod, Yucca, and Rodriguez)[2] is a former settlement in Kern County, California in the Mojave Desert.[1]

It was located on Rogers Dry Lake {{convert|3|mi|km}} east of Edwards,[2] at an elevation of 2283 feet (696 m).[1]

Muroc still appeared on maps as of 1942.[1] Muroc's site is now on Edwards Air Force Base.[2]

A post office operated at Muroc from 1910 to 1951.[2] The name honors early settlers Ralph and Clifford Corum — their surname spelled backwards is "Muroc".[2]
