2018 Map of Dunn

About this map

The Mojave River carves a critical path through the arid San Bernardino County landscape, defining the geographic character of this region. This modern topographic study illustrates the sparse but strategic settlement pattern along the major transit corridors of the Mojave Desert. The cluster of small desert outposts including Dunn, New Dunn, and Midway are anchored by the historical trajectory of the Arrowhead Trl, showing how transportation infrastructure dictates human presence in this environment. To the south, the terrain becomes significantly more complex as the river enters Afton Canyon, flanked by the rising elevations of the Cady Mountains. This area serves as a vital drainage point where Wilhelm Wash meets the river valley. The map provides a precise look at the rural road network, including Dunn Rd and Afton Canyon Rd, which connect these isolated settlements to the broader desert expanse.
