2011 Map of Kanarraville

About this map

Kanarraville and the ranching lands of the northern Mojave desert margin are documented here during the early twenty-first century. The settlement pattern is defined by the historic north-south travel corridor of Old US Hwy 91 and the modern interstate, which bypass the grid-laid heart of the town. To the north, the ephemeral Quichapa Lake and nearby Mud Springs indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid environment, further evidenced by the Harris Gubler Dam and its associated Harris Gubler Reservoir near the southern boundary. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the North Hills, where landmarks like The Saucer and Woods Hollow break the high-desert landscape. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Kanarraville Cemetery, while the surrounding network of routes like Kanarra Mtn Rd and Taylor Mtn Rd provide access to the interior canyons and springs.
