2015 Map of Manix

About this map

Manix serves as the namesake hub in this arid landscape where the Mojave River winds through the high desert. The geography is defined by geological features like the Lake Manix Basin and the Buwalda Ridge to the northeast, while the Cady Mountains rise in the southern reaches. This modern survey shows a sparse settlement pattern dictated by the environment, with several residential roads like Palma Vista Rd and Riverside Rd extending into the Mojave Valley. To the south, the ephemeral Troy Lake sits near the base of the mountains, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Mojave Desert. Historic travel routes are preserved in labels such as the Mojave Trl, providing context for the long-standing importance of this corridor for desert crossing.
