About this map

Baker serves as a critical desert crossroads in this 2021 survey, situated at the entrance to the Mojave National Preserve. The town is anchored by Baker Airport and a dense network of local roads such as Silver Ln, Roosevelt Rd, and Well Rd, reflecting its role as a hub for travelers navigating the Mojave Desert. The surrounding landscape is defined by the proximity of Soda Lake to the south and Silver Lake to the north, two significant dry lake beds that dominate the local topography.

Industrial and natural landmarks are clearly delineated, including Nickel Mtn and Otto Mtn which rise from the desert floor. The map traces the essential transit corridors that connect this isolated settlement to the wider region, notably the path of Death Valley Rd heading north and Kelbaker Road extending southeast. This topographical detail provides a modern inventory of the infrastructure supporting life and tourism in one of California's most arid environments.
