Mojave National Preserve encompasses the majority of this desert landscape, where the isolated settlement of Kelso serves as a critical waypoint at the junction of Kelbaker Road and Kelso-Cima Road. The area is defined by the stark transition from the alluvial drainage of Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash to the prominent heights of the Kelso Mountains, anchored by the distinctive Kelso Peak. This modern survey illustrates the enduring importance of this remote Mojave corridor, highlighting how transportation routes and hydrological features like Mojave Desert washes continue to shape human presence and conservation boundaries in the high desert of San Bernardino County.
