2021 Map of Langford Well

About this map

Fort Irwin occupies the northern reaches of this map, illustrating the modern footprint of this major military installation within the Mojave Desert. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Alvord Mountain to the south and the presence of Garlic Spring in the northeast, a rare water source in this arid environment. Transportation patterns reflect the area's specialized use, with a network of service roads and specialized corridors including Fort Irwin Rd, Ammo Rte, and a route labeled Nasa. The map documents the specific administrative and logistical layout of the base, from the North Loop to the residential or administrative naming convention of 5th St, during a period of continued military activity and desert research.
