2012 Map of Cima

About this map

Cima serves as a central point of activity in this high desert landscape, where the Up Rr tracks slice through the arid terrain of San Bernardino County. The rail line is a primary artery for the region, passing through the settlements of Chase and Elora. These outposts are situated along the vast drainage systems of Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash, which define the local topography. To the northwest, Wildcat Butte provides a significant landmark overlooking the sparse network of utility corridors and access roads like Powerline RD and Utility RD. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by isolated features such as White Rock Tank and Eightmile Tank. The map illustrates a modern era of desert transit, where traditional rail routes parallel newer thoroughfares like Kelso Cima Rd, highlighting the enduring importance of this corridor for movement through the California desert.
