2021 Map of Cadiz Lake NE

About this map

The settlement of Archer sits at the base of the Ship Mountains in this high-desert portion of the Mojave Desert. The landscape is defined by broad alluvial basins and isolated mountain ranges, with the Cadiz Valley occupying the southern portion of the map. Travel through this arid region relies on a network of unpaved desert routes, most notably Skeleton Pass Rd, which cuts north-to-south through the center of the survey. The southern boundary is marked by the rising slopes of the Kilbeck Hills. This map documents the essential desert infrastructure of San Bernardino County, where long-distance roads like Cadiz Rd and the curiously named Old Woman Meteorite Rd provide the only access across these expansive valleys. The lack of modern development highlight's the area's preservation of its early 20th-century character as a remote corridor between mountain ranges.
