2021 Map of Blind Hills

Transport through this part of the Mojave Desert is dominated by the long corridor of Essex Rd, which cuts across the valley floor. Small topographical landmarks like Halfway Hill and the eponymous Blind Hills provide navigational waypoints in a terrain otherwise characterized by vast alluvial washes. This survey records the region's character as a protected wilderness, balancing natural desert features with the modern infrastructure of the Interstate 40 corridor passing through the southern valley.
