2021 Map of Cadiz Lake

About this map

The arid floor of the Mojave Desert defines this landscape, where the vast Cadiz Valley stretches between rising topography. The most striking human imprint on the terrain is the specialized industrial infrastructure represented by the Salt Evaporator Plan Rd, which bisects the valley floor to serve the salt harvesting operations that dominate this dry lake region. To the southwest, the foothills of the Calumet Mountains provide a sharp contrast to the basin floor, marking the edge of the desert flats. This survey illustrates a modern era of industrial land use within a sparsely settled wilderness, where geometric road patterns and township boundaries like t3n r15e carve the open desert into managed resource zones.
