2012 Map of Mojave NE

About this map

The desert landscape of Kern County is defined by major infrastructure and the grid-based planning of California City in the early 2010s. This survey highlights the critical water corridors of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct, which cut diagonally across the arid terrain near Pine Tree Canyon. The map reveals the ambitious but largely unbuilt street networks of the region, where long desert boulevards like Cheyenne Blvd and Washburn Blvd extend into the brush, far from the established hub of the California City Municipal Airport. Researchers can observe the contrast between the densely platted residential streets in the southeast, near Mendiburu Rd and Baron Blvd, and the open expanses to the north and west where only a few roads like Gantt Rd provide access.
