2015 Map of Iron Ridge

About this map

Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2015 survey of the High Desert region in San Bernardino County, where industrial infrastructure and geologic features define the land use. The map highlights the intersection of modern utility and historical access, notably through Transmission Line Rd and Bessemer Mine Rd, which trace the paths of resource extraction and power distribution. The physical geography is anchored by the prominent Iron Ridge landform, while the dry basin of Galway Lake sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This area reflects the characteristic isolation of California's interior basins, where the landscape is organized by section lines and specialized service roads rather than traditional town settlements.
