2021 Map of Landers

About this map

Homestead Valley and Flamingo Heights characterize this high desert landscape within the Mojave Desert as it appeared in the early 2020s. The map illustrates a grid of residential and connector roads, such as Old Woman Springs Rd and Wright Blvd, that tie these remote settlements together. To the north, the boundary of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms marks the transition from civilian development to military jurisdiction. Distinctive topographical features like Spy Mtn, Ruby Mtn, and the iconic Giant Rock emerge from the desert floor, while the winding path of Pipes Wash provides a natural drainage route through the arid terrain. Local-history researchers can trace the extensive network of smaller named ways, including Creole Mine Rd and Mikiska Blvd, which speak to the area's development and land use patterns.
