2018 Map of Boron

About this map

Boron stands as a central settlement in this corner of the Mojave Desert along the Kern County and San Bernardino County line. The map highlights a landscape defined by industrial and residential clusters, notably around Desert Lake and the smaller outpost of Silt. The network of roads, including Borax Rd and Suckow Rd, points to the region's significant history with mineral extraction and the infrastructure required to support these desert communities. Surveyed in 2018, the map illustrates the precise grid of residential streets such as Cherryhill Dr and Glendower Ave that contrast with the wide-open township and range blocks typical of the high desert. Researchers can trace the development of local neighborhoods and their proximity to the transportation corridors that link these isolated settlements.
