2012 Map of Goffs

About this map

Goffs serves as the central focal point of this Mojave Desert landscape, situated at a critical junction of historical travel routes in San Bernardino County. In this early twenty-first-century survey, the settlement is positioned along Goffs Rd and Lanfair Rd, illustrating its enduring role as a desert crossroads. The surrounding terrain is defined by the prominent Goffs Butte to the south and the rising slopes of the Piute Mountains to the southeast. These natural landmarks, coupled with the straight-line paths of Mountain Springs Rd, reveal a landscape shaped by both the isolation of the high desert and the infrastructure required to traverse it. The map captures the spare but deliberate settlement pattern of the region, where water sources and transit corridors dictate the placement of human activity.
