2012 Map of Johannesburg

About this map

Randsburg and Johannesburg occupy the northern reaches of this High Desert landscape, representing the enduring legacy of mining and transit in the Rand District. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Government Peak and Sidney Peak, which rise above a network of desert roads and more recent residential developments. The naming of Yellow Aster Rd refers back to the region's gold mining heritage, while the extensive grid of streets to the south, including Columbia Rd and Wells Fargo St, illustrates modern planning within California City. This 2012 survey documents the intersection of historical mining hubs and contemporary town expansion, showing how the local road network, like the Randsburg Mojave Rd, continues to link these remote desert communities to the broader Mojave region.
