About this map

Daggett serves as a critical desert junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks parallel the Mojave River through the Mojave Valley. The early 1970s landscape is defined by a significant military footprint, including the Marine Corps Supply Center and the extensive Marine Corps Firing Range, which stretches toward the high ground of Daggett Ridge.

Local civic life is anchored by the McKinney Sch and the Daggett Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The terrain transitions from the industrial activity of the Gravel Pit near the river to the open expanse of Stoddard Valley in the south. Dozens of Jeep Trail routes and numerous Pipeline corridors crisscross the desert floor, reflecting the region's role as a transit and utility corridor for Southern California.
