About this map

North Edwards serves as a central hub on this high desert sheet, situated just north of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Air Force Flight Test Center. The residential layout of the community is clearly defined, including the Lynch Sch and a neighborhood grid featuring Glendower Ave and Lorraine Ave. To the north, the expanse of Peerless Valley is marked by the California City corporate boundary and the isolated settlement of Aerial Acres.

Industry and transport in this part of Kern County are characterized by a network of resource-linked infrastructure, from the Clay Mine Road to the historic resonance of 20 Mule Team Rd. Scattered mining interests are evidenced by a Quarry and various Prospect labels, while the agricultural fringe is represented by the Thundering Herd Ranch. The presence of numerous Well and Water Tank labels underscores the critical nature of water management in this arid environment.
