2015 Map of Del Sur

About this map

The San Andreas Fault cuts a diagonal path across this High Desert landscape, separating the alluvial floor of the Antelope Valley from the rising elevations of the Angeles National Forest. The settlement of Del Sur sits at a transition point where the rigid grid of West Avenue roads meets the complex terrain of Portal Ridge and Johnson Summit. Critical infrastructure is a defining element of this region, most notably the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct, which winds through the foothills. Along the southern and eastern margins, the encroaching suburban growth of Lancaster and Palmdale is visible, contrasting with the more rural character of Leona Valley. Aviation history is represented by Bohunk's Airpark, while the natural drainage of Amargosa Cr and Willow Springs Canyon illustrates the local hydrology of this arid environment.
