About this map

The Mojave River cuts a distinctive path through this Mojave Desert landscape, marking the transition into the dramatic geography of Afton Canyon. This 1980s era survey highlights the vital transportation corridor where the Union Pacific Railroad and Interstate 15 parallel the river's course. Small outposts like Dunn and Afton serve as the primary human markers in a terrain dominated by the Cady Mountains.

Evidence of resource exploration is scattered throughout the northern hills, with several marked Mine and Prospect sites indicating the region's mineral interest. To the northeast, the Afton Canyon Campground provides a recreational anchor near the river. The map also delineates the Fort Irwin Military Reservation Boundary in the northwest corner, showing the intersection of public lands, private mineral claims, and military territory during the late twentieth century.
