2018 Map of Manix

About this map

Manix and the Mojave Valley appear as small residential and agricultural focal points within the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in the late 2010s. The landscape is dominated by the intermittent Mojave River and its associated features, including Manix Wash and the geological remnants of the Lake Manix Basin. To the south and east, the Cady Mountains provide a dramatic elevation change, where isolated water sources like Cady Spring are critical landmarks. The map documents an extensive grid of unpaved roads and numbered sections, such as Fort Cady RD and Riverside RD, illustrating the spread of rural property development across the desert floor. This network connects the northern rail-and-road corridor near Buwalda Ridge to the ephemeral bed of Troy Lake in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
