2012 Map of Cantil

About this map

Koehn Lake dominates the eastern half of this Mojave Desert landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding desert settlements and industrial history. This area, captured in 2012, reveals a network of small outposts and ranches, including Cantil, Saltdale, and Gypsite, reflecting a legacy of mineral extraction and desert agriculture. The rugged geology of Red Rock Canyon State Park marks the northwestern corner, where the terrain shifts toward Red Rock Canyon and the northern reach of Ricardo. To the south, the grid-like development of Rancho Seco stands in contrast to the natural drainages of Cache Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the regional road network, from the arterial Redrock Randsburg Rd to localized tracks like Last Chance Canyon Rd, illustrating how people navigate this arid environment between isolated landmarks like Moore Ranch and Ceneda.
