About this map

The Mojave River valley anchors this 2012 survey, illustrating the modern footprint of Barstow and its surrounding residential developments. The map tracks the expansion of the high desert landscape, featuring established neighborhoods such as Irwin Estates, Skyline North, and North Barstow. Cultural and municipal infrastructure is well-documented, including the Mount View Cem north of the urban center and the Po serving the community.

Topographically, the area is defined by the Waterman Hills to the north and the Mitchel Range to the east, contrasting the residential grid with significant natural elevations like B Hill. The transportation network is dense, showing the transition from regional hubs like Lenwood and Grandview into the core city, while the older alignment of Fossil Bed Rd reaches toward the northern hills. This edition records the junction of desert commerce and residential growth before further 21st-century changes.
