Goldstone and the nearby Mojave Base define this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where specialized installations are situated within the vast Mojave Desert. The map reveals the infrastructure of the area, including the Goldstone /GTS/ Airport and the seasonal basin of Goldstone Lake to the north. These features sit at the edge of Superior Valley, where long stretches of Goldstone Rd and Paradise Springs Rd provide the primary access through the arid terrain. The presence of these facilities and technical infrastructure suggests the strategic and scientific importance of this remote section of the California desert during the mid-2010s.
