2018 Map of Nebo

About this map

Barstow serves as the focal point of this Mojave landscape, where the Mojave River course meets a complex network of desert transit. The map documents the eastern edges of the city and the adjacent settlement of Nebo, situated south of the sprawling Mojave Desert terrain. Transportation routes dominate the geography, from the historical alignment of Old Hwy 58 and Fossil Bed Rd to the modern corridors of Fort Irwin Rd and the Yermo Cutoff. To the north and east, the topography rises into the Calico Mountains and Mitchel Range, while prominent local landmarks like Elephant Mtn and Lead Mtn define the horizon. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of desert infrastructure and residential expansion in the high desert, tracing how development follows the river valley and existing rail and road arterials.
