About this map

Hodge and Johnstons Corner anchor this stretch of the high desert, where the National Trails Hwy traces the historical path of migration across the Mojave Desert. The landscape is dominated by the dry bed of the Mojave River, which cuts a wide sandy path through the valley, flanked by the elevated terrain of Iron Mtn to the northwest and the Brisbane Valley to the south.

Modern infrastructure for Barstow begins to appear in the northeast, including local landmarks like Depue Airport. The map highlights a network of backroads and trails such as Old Hinkley Rd and Wild Wash, illustrating the intersection of ancient geological washes and contemporary desert navigation. This area serves as a critical corridor between the western Mojave and the developing outskirts of the San Bernardino County desert hubs.
