About this map

Palmdale and its surrounding High Desert landscape are defined by the convergence of major infrastructure and geological features in this 2018 survey. The San Andreas Fault cuts a distinct line across the southern terrain, separating the valley floor from the canyons of Hunt Canyon and Carr Canyon. To the north, the massive facility of Palmdale United States Air Force Plant 42 anchors the industrial landscape near Lockheed Way.

Water management and transportation are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct winding through the foothills near Lake Palmdale and Una Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like Palmdale Cem and Desert Lawn Memorial Park, while the Metrolink rail line serves the communities of Harold and Vincent at Soledad Pass.
