2012 Map of Cinco

About this map

Cinco sits at a critical junction of infrastructure and desert terrain in eastern Kern County, where the desert floor meets the rising slopes of Chuckwalla Mountain. The landscape is dominated by the monumental water engineering of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct, which parallel the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada foothills. These industrial lifelines cut across a complex network of dry washes and named canyons, including Butterbredt Canyon and Jawbone Canyon Rd. To the northeast, the map details the edge of Red Rock Canyon State Park, while smaller landmarks like Sugarloaf Park and Blue Point provide points of reference in an area defined by deep topographic relief and scarce water sources like Alphie Spring and Cutterbank Spring.
