2018 Map of Inyokern

About this map

Indian Wells Valley and the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert define this landscape, where the High Desert terrain meets a grid of residential and ranch roads. The settlement of Inyokern serves as a central hub, flanked by the critical infrastructure of Inyokern Airport and the sprawling community of China Lake Acres to the east. The drainage of Little Dixie Wash snakes across the valley floor, while topographic prominence is found at Sawtooth Peak. Long corridors like Neal Ranch Rd and Leliter Rd mark the transition from open desert to established land holdings. The presence of Snort Access Rd hints at the proximity of specialized local industries or facilities common to this part of Kern County. This recent survey documents the modern intersection of desert wilderness and aviation-related development.
