2021 Map of Hawthorne East

About this map

The high desert terrain of Mineral County is defined here by the structured grid of the Hawthorne Industrial Airport and the nearby settlement of Thorne. This area showcases a fascinating intersection of military or industrial infrastructure and rugged natural landforms, such as the Garfield Hills rising to the southeast. The landscape is interconnected by a series of precisely laid out thoroughfares including 5th Ave N and 1st Ave N, which contrast with older routes like Rawhide Rd and Schurz Rd. Local history researchers will find the Hawthorne Cem and the Po serving as central landmarks for the community's footprint. The map captures a high degree of organization in an arid environment, where road names like Rocket Rd and Mine Rd hint at the region's historical and economic drivers.
