About this map

The high desert landscape of the Mojave Desert defines this 2018 survey, centered on the prominent rise of Adobe Mtn. Located along the county boundary of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, the area is characterized by an expansive grid of roads, such as Lancaster Blvd and Shadow Mountain Rd, which cut through the arid valley floor. This infrastructure reveals a modern pattern of rural development and land parceling in the high desert, contrasting with the natural drainage features like Eller Slough.

Toward the southeast, the terrain transitions into the El Mirage Valley, featuring the vast expanse of El Mirage Lake and the nearby Hansen Airport. These landmarks, along with Nash Hill and Gray Mtn, provide essential orientation points for understanding the topography of this transitional zone between established mountain ranges and the dry lake beds that serve as focal points for local activity.
