2021 Map of Homer

About this map

Homer marks a key point of interest in this high-desert landscape within the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a transition between prominent geological features, where the Sacramento Mountains rise to the southeast and the broad sweeps of Piute Valley and Ward Valley converge. Large portions of the western terrain are managed as part of the Mojave National Preserve, illustrating the modern balance of land use in San Bernardino County. A primary transportation corridor bisects the area, providing the historical and modern backbone for movement through this arid environment, while Walter Rd provides more localized access to the southwest. The grid-like Public Land Survey System divisions emphasize the administrative history of these expansive California desert lands.
