2015 Map of Cantil

About this map

Koehn Lake dominates the eastern basin of this Kern County landscape, serving as the terminus for drainage from the surrounding high ground. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the El Paso Mountains to the north and the Rand Mountains to the south, with the Fremont Valley spreading between them. Settlement patterns follow the low-lying basins and transportation corridors, with small communities like Cantil and Saltdale situated near the lake's edge and along the rail line. To the northwest, the map captures the transition into the Mojave Desert floor, where Red Rock Canyon and Last Chance Canyon carve through the foothills near Ricardo. This 2015 edition provides a modern topographic record of these remote high-desert outposts, documenting the established grid of local roads like Neuralia Rd and Munsey Rd that service the Rancho Seco area.
