2012 Map of Minneola

About this map

Minneola and Gale sit along a significant transit corridor in the High Desert, where modern infrastructure overlays historic routes. The northern portion of the map is defined by the heavy rail lines of Santa Fe St and the legendary National Trails Hwy, which run parallel through this arid landscape. The Barstow-Daggett Airport stands as a primary landmark, providing a structural anchor amidst the open terrain. Moving south, the desert floor rises toward Minneola Ridge, while the drainage of Daggett Wash cuts through the southwestern quadrant. This area is characterized by a network of utilitarian roads such as Camp Rock Rd and Ord Mountain Rd, which provide access to the vast open spaces south of the Interstate. The map captures the quiet, spread-out nature of San Bernardino County's desert settlements at the start of the 2010s.
