About this map

Edwards Air Force Base dominates this portion of the Mojave Desert, serving as a focal point for aerospace history and military infrastructure. The residential and administrative core of Edwards is meticulously detailed, with streets named in honor of aviation pioneers, including Lindbergh Ave, Yeager Blvd, Doolittle Pky, and Rickenbacker Dr. These thoroughfares form the heart of the base's community, situated just north of W Fitzgerald Blvd.

Beyond the military installations, the landscape transitions into the arid terrain of the Bissell Hills and the Rosamond Hills. The settlement of Bissell appears to the northwest, connected to the larger complex by desert roads such as Landfill Rd and Forbes Ave. The map illustrates the specialized layout of a high-desert military town, where the grid of N Fogleman Loop and Community Dr meets the expansive, open tracts required for flight operations and testing.
