2015 Map of Cinco

About this map

Cinco sits at the edge of the Fremont Valley in this detailed survey of eastern Kern County, where the arid floor of the Mojave Desert meets the rising slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The landscape is defined by its critical water infrastructure, most notably the dual paths of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct as they traverse the desert foothills. The map reveals a complex network of canyons including Jawbone Canyon, Butterbredt Canyon, and Poleline Canyon, which carve through the high ground of Chuckwalla Mtn and Sugarloaf. This 2015 study provides essential context for the modern management of these vital water corridors and the land use around landmarks like Blue Point and Sugarloaf Park.
