About this map

The Mojave River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2015 study of high desert geography and urban development. The city of Barstow is the primary hub, surrounded by peripheral residential areas including North Barstow, Skyline North, Grandview, and Lenwood. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between human habitation and the arid terrain, showing how neighborhoods like those near Mount View Cemetery are bounded by significant geological formations such as the Waterman Hills and B Hill.

Infrastructure is dominated by a complex network of transportation routes, including Santa Fe Dr and W Main St, which navigate the constraints of the Mojave Desert landscape. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Mt General and the Mitchel Range, while the Hinkley Valley opens to the west. This survey illustrates the modern layout of a critical desert crossroads, documenting the precise street grids of Barstow alongside the natural drainage patterns of the Mojave River.
