About this map

Goffs stands as a focal point in the eastern Mojave, serving as a historic junction where the desert landscape meets the foothills of the Piute Mountains. This 2021 survey illustrates the settlement's relationship with the surrounding Mojave National Preserve, showing a network of rural routes like Lanfair Rd and Mountain Springs Rd that fan out into the Fenner Valley. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of Goffs Butte and the sprawling expanses of the Mojave Desert, providing a clear view of the modern infrastructure and natural boundaries that characterize this San Bernardino County corridor.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the Goffs Cem, located just north of the town center. The map details the transition from the broad, sandy plains of the Fenner Valley to the more complex terrain of the mountains to the southeast. The alignment of roads and section lines reflects the enduring survey patterns that have governed this arid region since the late nineteenth century.
