Glasgow and Kerens anchor this desert landscape in San Bernardino County, illustrating the sparse settlement patterns along the rail line that traverses the Mojave. The terrain is dominated by the expansive Devils Playground, a distinctive arid region defined by shifting sands and intermittent drainage systems. Natural drainage features such as Kelso Wash, Devils Playground Wash, and Budweiser Wash provide a clear view of the hydrological network that dictates the geography of this remote area. For the researcher, this 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey offers a precise look at the junction of human transport infrastructure and the raw, unyielding environment of the high desert.
