2015 Map of Melville Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Melville Lake and Means Lake anchor this arid landscape within the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County. The region is defined by broad basin floors including Upper Johnson Valley and the main Johnson Valley, where the ephemeral lake beds provide flat, open expanses. Aviation history and private ranching interests are evident through several specialized landing strips, such as Abraham Ranch Airport, Kelly Airport, and the B & E Ranch Airport. A network of local desert routes like Pony Rd, Greenrock, and Boone Rd connects these remote outposts, tracing the natural contours of the valley floor between the rocky ridges. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of desert land use where traditional ranching landmarks meet modern off-road and aviation access points.
