About this map

Edwards serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape, situated within the expansive Mojave Desert terrain. The settlement’s identity is inextricably linked to the surrounding Edwards AFB installations, with many street names reflecting aviation heritage, such as Lindbergh Dr, Rickenbacker Dr, Falcon Way, and Blackbird St. These residential and operational corridors are organized around major thoroughfares like Fitzgerald Blvd.

To the northwest, the small settlement of Bissell sits near the base of the Bissell Hills, while the Rosamond Hills rise to the southwest. The mapping reveals a transition between the dense street grid of the air force base and the wide-open desert punctuated by regional routes such as Neuralia Rd and Trotter Ave. This 2018 survey documents the footprint of one of the nation’s most significant military flight testing centers, showing the proximity of the community to the vast Edwards Air Force Base.
