2015 Map of Mojave

About this map

Mojave serves as a critical desert junction where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada meet the western edge of the Mojave Desert. This 2015 survey details the sophisticated water and transport infrastructure essential to the region, including the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct and the expansive Mojave Airport. The map highlights a landscape defined by both natural relief and human engineering, with named elevations like Horned Toad Hills and Standard Hill rising above the grid of modern settlements. Residential and industrial expansion is visible around California City, while smaller locales like Chaffee and Fleta mark points along the primary transportation corridors. Historical layers are preserved in road names such as Pony Express Rd and Cache Creek Blvd, which trace older routes through the drainage of Cache Creek.
